Buffalo Bills prepare for training camp focusing on running backs
Summary

The Buffalo Bills start training camp on July 29 at St. John Fisher, entering a crucial phase before the 2026 NFL season. The team's running backs, led by James Cook, will be a focal point as Cook aims to build on his 2025 breakout season, which included leading the NFL in rushing yards. Ray Davis and Ty Johnson are expected to support Cook in the backfield, while the fullback position remains competitive after Reggie Gilliam's departure. The Bills have also added fullbacks Ben VanSumeren and Jackson Acker to the roster. A strong camp performance from Davis could increase his share of touches.
