Bills’ top pick, wide receiver sidelined
Buffalo Bills officials said Monday that first-round draft pick Shaq Lawson will have surgery on his right shoulder and that wide receiver Sammy Watkins had an operation on one of his feet.
The Bills say Lawson, the 19th pick in last month’s NFL draft, tweaked the shoulder last week and will undergo a procedure Tuesday.
Denver quarterback Mark Sanchez will miss the first few days of organized team activities (OTAs) next week after undergoing surgery to repair a ligament in his left, non-throwing hand.
With Sanchez expected to miss at least a week, second-year pro Trevor Siemian and first-round draft pick Paxton Lynch will be taking the snaps when OTAs begin May 24.
Tennessee released quarterback Zach Mettenberger, a 2014 sixth-round pick from LSU who is 0-10 in his career as a starter.
Miami signed defensive end Jason Jones, who started 31 games for Detroit over the past two season.
