All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer suffers elbow injury, but Buffalo Bills expect he'll play in opener

PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer hyperextended his elbow during the team's training camp practice Tuesday and will miss "a few weeks," a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Bills are set to play in the league's season opener Sept. 8 vs. the Los Angeles Rams, and the expectation is that Poyer will be ready for that game.

Poyer suffered the injury during the team's 11-on-11 drills as he made a stop during a run by rookie running back James Cook near the end zone. The 31-year-old safety walked off the field but was later taken to the team's locker room on a cart after dealing with the injury off to the side.
