Marshawn Lynch Is In Buffalo But Not On The Field For Bills OTAs On Friday

Marshawn Lynch is in Buffalo and has been lifting weights with his teammates over the course of this week. However, he has yet to get on the field.

Why? We’re not sure exactly why.

On Wednesday, coach Chan Gailey said he hadn’t had any communication with Lynch. The rumors started on Tuesday that he had arrived in Buffalo and would report to OTAs on Wednesday. But he wasn’t on the field Wednesday. Same goes for Thursday when multiple reports indicated he would be available but apparently wasn’t.

It’s known that Lynch isn’t a happy camper right now. With the addition of C.J. Spiller and the emergence of Fred Jackson, he’s an insurance guy at this point. If he’s on the roster in 2010, he won’t get a chance to be the feature back and put up big statistics to demand more money when he’s eventually released or traded.

Why he’s not practicing isn’t quite clear. It’s possible that the Bills are angling to trade him and would prefer he not practice risking an injury.

For all things Bills, check out SB Nation’s Buffalo Rumblings.
