ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Practice was over for the Buffalo Bills after the stretch period, and players were heading back to the locker room. As the sun shone down on an almost empty practice field, one player remained. Linebacker Tyrel Dodson was lying down quietly on the sideline.
Dodson, one of the main competitors for the middle linebacker role that Tremaine Edmunds occupied for five seasons before signing with the Chicago Bears as a free agent, has been a central figure in multiple skirmishes over the last few days, including plenty of verbal back-and-forth with offensive teammates and a fight with right tackle Spencer Brown on Tuesday.
