Just two days in, and already we’re reporting on injuries to the Bills,  at their St. John Fisher College training camp.  First year RB Justise Hairston is the most serious one so far.  He left  Saturday’s workout with a knee injury suffered in a nonp-contact portion of the practice.  Sunday, Head Coach Dick Jauron said it’s likely Hairston will be out for the year.  Hairston was signed by the Bills back in June after being out of football in 2008.  the Central Connecticut State product spent the 2007 season on the Patriots and Colts practice squads.

Starting DT Marcus Stroud is going to miss some time.  I watched him pull his hamstring Saturday afternoon, during an early practice conditioning-type drill.  Stroud and the rest of the defense go through a drill where they pursue to the corner of the end zone, all eleven of them, in an effort to teach pursuit techniques and work into shape.  He grabbed for the back of his left in the drill and immediately went to the sideline.  Dick Jauron says Stroud will miss 5-7 days of practice.

When (or if) rookie Safety Jairus Byrd signs his contract and reports to camp, I’ll be interested to check on his physical condition.  The second round pick from Oregon may miss some time.  I’m hearing rumblings that he suffered some sort of a sports hernia in the last few weeks that may set him back for awhile.  Byrd was considered a possible starter at the FS spot.  Once he signs, we’ll see if he’s ready to go.
