Saturday Sports Update
Top left: It's not official yet, but all signs are pointing towards the Buffalo Bills signing free agent wide receiver Kenny Stills. A report on Friday by the Houston Chronicle indicates that the team is expected to sign Stills before the playoffs begin. Stills, who is in his eighth NFL season, caught 11 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown with the Houston Texans before they released him at the end of November. Stills would fill a potential void left by Cole Beasley, who is dealing with a leg injury. Photo by the Houston Texans

The team held its first practices of training camp on Friday without the services of captain Jack Eichel due to injury. He's listed as day-to-day. Meantime, WGR reports that Victor Olofsson left this morning's practice due to an apparent injury to his left arm. Photo by the Buffalo Sabres
