ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Buffalo Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman has limped off the field with a lower right leg injury shortly after opening his first practice with his new team.
Claimed off waivers by Buffalo last week, the former San Diego Chargers star pass-rusher was hurt during an individual drill a half-hour into practice Wednesday. After taking a few steps back, Merriman took a pivot step when he hopped in the air in pain.
Merriman limped to the sideline where a trainer spent a few minutes checking the player’s ankle before escorting him off the field.
Merriman had been sidelined this season with a left calf injury.
The Bills (0-8), who host Detroit (2-6) on Sunday.
