Buffalo Bills star Joey Bosa is out for the ‘foreseeable future’ with an injury just weeks after signing a $12million, one-year contract.
Bosa has only just arrived in Buffalo after getting released by the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this year.
But Bills head coach Sean McDermott revealed he will not be taking part in any OTAs after suffering a pulled calf.
McDermott revealed that Bosa will not practice until training camp, which is due to start on July 24 in Rochester.
Bosa arrived in Buffalo hoping to reestablish himself as one of the NFL´s premier pass rushers.
But this latest setback is not ideal preparation for Bosa, who will turn 30 on July 11 and is coming off three injury-slowed seasons with the Chargers.

Bosa is hoping to fill the edge-rushing role left open after the Bills released Von Miller earlier in the offseason.
His 72 sacks are tied for 10th most in the league since 2016. But he has just 14 sacks over the past three seasons, during which he was limited to 28 games due to groin, foot, hip and back injuries.
On the plus side, Bosa’s time in the AFC West makes him familiar with facing Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs quarterback has become a Bills nemesis after improving his playoff record to 4-0 against Buffalo following Kansas City’s 32-29 win in the AFC championship game in January.
