Feliciano returned against New England after missing the first seven games of the year due to a pectoral injury and provided an immediate boost to Buffalo’s inconsistent running game. The Bills went out and had their best rushing performance of the season with Feliciano back in the lineup. Feliciano even provided extra value in that first game back with his versatility; while Feliciano is usually Buffalo’s starter at right guard, he initially lined up at left guard in place of the injured Cody Ford. Then he later moved to center after Mitch Morse suffered a concussion and helped provide veteran stability at the pivot. Here’s a look at what Feliciano had to say about his big return and his outlook on the offensive line moving forward.
1 After you made your big return in Week 8 against the New England Patriots, did you allow yourself any time to reflect on what it meant after all that you’ve gone through?
A: Yeah, after the game I was emotional. It was a long journey back. I’m just happy we got the W. There’s some things I need to work on and I’m excited to get back out here and practice and do it.
2 That performance against the Patriots was the best the running game has looked all season long. When you looked at the tape afterwards, what was the difference and what allowed you guys to be so successful?

ALLEN GETS HISTORIC DEAL
Bills QB now under contract through 2028
Right back in the swing of things
It’s fair to say that this year’s Bills training camp looks wildly different from those of the past.
1st & Ten with STEFON DIGGS
Stefon Diggs had one of the best seasons ever by a Bills receiver in 2020, and he’s looking for an encore. Diggs was clearly amped up and ready to go as the Bills began their preparations for the new season, leading the huddle and supporting his teammates as they kicked off training camp in Orchard Park. Diggs recently touched on his goals for the upcoming season for both himself and the team in an informative discussion with members of the media. Here are the highlights from that discussion.
RUNNING BACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS
Aaron Jones, Packers 5-9 • 208 pounds • 27 years old A fifth-round steal in the 2017 draft out of UTEP, Jones is equally proficient in the running and passing games. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards the last two years, and caught 49 and 47 passes, respectively. He’s also a touchdown machine with 30 TDs the last two years (25 rushing and 5 receiving). The son of two career Army officers, he’s a tough, driven player and the kind of guy players want on their team.
THE RIGHT STUFF?
Keeping two important starters is a priority as the right side of the O-line hits free agency
QUARTERBACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS
Dak Prescott, Cowboys 6-2 • 235 pounds • 27 years old A solid starter who has a nice TD-INT ratio over his first five seasons (104-40), Prescott is an accurate thrower and very mobile. However, he’s coming off a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle, so it remains to be seen if this will impact his game moving forward.
TIGHT ENDS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS
Hunter Henry, Chargers 6-5 • 250 pounds • 29 years old A very talented player, Henry has had issues staying healthy, unable to complete an NFL season, including missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL. But when healthy, he’s a terrific all-around tight end who really connected with Justin Herbert in 2020 with 60 catches. Henry is very good at finding holes in zone coverage.
