ORCHARD PARK - The Buffalo Bills first practice at the new Highmark Stadium was dampened, literally, by a strong rain shower about halfway through, but also because of injuries to center Connor McGovern and running back Ty Johnson.
Coach Joe Brady did not have any specifics on either player and will meet with the training staff before announcing anything, probably when the Bills return to practice Monday at One Bills Drive.
Johnson went down during a one-on-one drill when he got behind linebacker Joe Andreessen with a nice move at the line of scrimmage, but as he pulled away downfield he suddenly went to the ground. At first it looked like he slipped - this was before the rain - but then he stayed down and ultimately walked gingerly to the locker room with a trainer.
Not long after that, McGovern left an 11-on-11 portion for a couple plays after chasing down a defensive player after an interception, then returned to center but re-injured himself and this time he limped off the field, flanked by trainers.
Lloyd Cushenberry and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger split the first-team reps after McGovern went off.
