PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Mario Williams was held out of the Buffalo Bills first training camp practice Sunday night after complaining of a sore foot. Coach Doug Marrone provided few details regarding the nature of the injury. He wouldnt say which foot Williams had hurt or how and when it happened. "Mario reported to our athletic training staff that he had a sore foot," Marrone said, following the two-plus hour session at the teams training camp facility in suburban Rochester. "So what we wanted to do was hold him out of practice and let our medical staff evaluate him." Marrone couldnt say how much time Williams might miss because the injury is still being evaluated. The Bills are back on the field Monday afternoon. Williams declined comment after practice, and deferred all questions to Marrone. After acknowledging he was disappointed to miss the opening session, Williams then apologized that he couldnt say anything more. Williams did not appear to be walking with a limp. He did not participate in any individual or team drills, and spent much of practice watching from the sideline with his helmet on. On several occasions, he was spotted bending over frontward to stretch out his back. The foot injury came as a surprise after Williams did not indicate he was experiencing any health issues upon reporting to camp on Friday. Williams was motivated upon arriving at camp, saying he wanted to put behind his inconsistent first season in Buffalo, which came after he signed a six-year, $100 million contract with the team in free agency. Williams led the Bills with 10-1/2 sacks, but his performance was hampered in the first half of the season because of a left wrist injury that was surgically repaired in late October. Starting defensive tackle Kyle Williams was limited in practice, as expected. The team intends to ease the player back in after Williams had surgery this off-season to remove bone spurs from his right foot. Cheap nike nfl Jerseys . It didnt take long.

BARRIE, Ont. -- To no ones surprise, the Barrie Colts announced Friday they intend to select underage defenceman Aaron Ekblad with the top pick in the Ontario Hockey League draft. "This is another great step for our organization," said Colts president Howie Campbell. "Our ultimate goal is to win the Memorial Cup, and this will help us get there." The official selection will be made at the draft Saturday morning. The six-foot-three Ekblad, considered a star in the making, was granted exceptional player status to enter the draft as a 15-year-old (he was born in 1996) after an extensive physical and psychological review by Hockey Canada. The Belle River, Ont., native is the first player given exceptional status since John Tavares, who was picked first overall by the Oshawa Generals in 2005. "Hes the complete package," said Colts head scout and director of player personnel Darrell Woodley. "Hes a big defenceman who skates real well for a big guy. "Hes got great offensive skills and hes really committed to his own end. Hes just an all-around type of defenceman, similar to a Chris Pronger type." Ekblad has been playing up an age group this season for the Sun County Panthers minor midget squad, but moving to the OHL will be an even bigger jump. "Im excited to get started here in Barrie," Ekblad said. "Its a great city and Im looking forward to a great opportunity." He will go to a team that struggled to keep pucks out of its own net, having given up a league-worst 348 goals last season. The Colts were the youngest team in the OHL in 2010-11 but they have tangible assets already in place. Fellow Team Canada under-18 teammates Mark Scheifele, expected to be taken in the first two rounds of the upcoming NHL draft, and Eric Locke, already provide some scoring punch alongside veteran forward Colin Behenna. But now, the focus shifts back to the blue-line, where Ekblad is expected to give Barrie a boost. "Were very excited that Aarons going to be a part of the Barrie Colts," said head coach Dale Hawerchuk. "When I saw Aaron play for the first time, I knew he was going to be a special hockey player." Hawerchuk believes that Ekblad can make a difference. "Hes going to be a big part of our hockey club," Hawerchuk said. "Hes got a little more talent than some of the others, (and) thats what can help make great hockey clubs." It is only the second time in franchise history that the Colts have selected first overall. As an expansion team, they took Daniel Tkaczuk in 1995, but havent had the top pick -- or even missed the playoffs -- until this season. What will come after Ekblad in the draft remains a mystery. Max Domi, the son of rugged former NHL forward Tie Domi, and Jordan Subban, a rushing defenceman like his brother P.K., who plays for the Montreal Canadiens, are among the players up for grabs at the what the OHL calls its Priority Selection, rather than calling it a draft. Defenceman Darnell Nurse, winger Nicholas Ritchie and centre Nicholas Baptiste are others expected to go high in the draft of players born in 1995 or earlier. The Peterborough Petes hold the second pick, followed by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounnds, Sarnia Sting, Belleville Bulls, Sudbury Wolves, Brampton Battalion and the 13 other clubs.dddddddddddd Domi, an energetic forward who inherited his fathers stocky features at five-foot-eight, is considered good enough to be a top-5 pick but teams may lay off him because it is not clear that he will even play in the OHL. Domis camp said recently they would prefer he goes to the USHL next season and then to an American university, likely Michigan, but there is a feeling their minds may change if he is drafted by the right OHL team. That could be the Kingston Frontenacs, whose new general manager is Tie Domis old teammate Doug Gilmour, or Oshawa, which is close to home. Kingston picks eighth and Oshawa 16th. Subban is considered a nearly exact copy of his older brother -- a right-handed shooting defenceman who rushes the puck, makes spinorama moves to evade opponents but takes too many penalties. Belleville would no doubt love to have him. P.K. Subban was a Bull, and another impressive brother, goaltender Malcolm, also plays for the club. But another team may snap him up before the fifth pick. The hottest prospects are likely to be Nurse, a six-foot-three defenceman who is a strong skater, and Ritchie, a six-foot-two left-winger with speed and a scoring touch. There is also Baptiste, a right-handed shooting centre. The OHLs scouting report describes Nurse as "an outstanding two-way defender who contributes in all three zones. He possesses tremendous physical tools, size, strength and his play displays a high level of hockey IQ." For Ritchie, scouts say he "has the physical tools of a prototypical power forward while possessing a higher level of skill usually associated with a player with his physical stature. Overall, he might be the one player available this year that possesses all the ingredients you look for in a hockey player." And for Baptiste: "He has very good size, a tall and rangy frame with the potential to really fill out and get stronger. He also possesses a very good stick, he can handle the puck and makes plays, and most importantly he can to it while at top speed." If he is available at the fourth pick, Sarnia may want to grab Ritchie because his brother Brett already plays there, but it is believed that Peterborough is also interested. Sarnia had the first overall pick last year and took Alex Galchenyuk. In Sudbury, the Wolves are expected to take local product Ryan Kujawinski, a flashy centre. Bryson Cianfrone and Bo Horvat, smaller centres who are quick and good with the puck, should also go high, along with six-foot-two Jordan Maletta, who is said to be strong along the boards and could make a solid right-winger. Those looking for the next Ryan Ellis, the gifted but smaller Windsor Spitfires defenceman who has graduated from junior, may look to five-foot-11 Anthony DeAngelo or five-foot-10 Adam Bateman. There are two compensatory picks at the end of the first round -- Mississauga at 21st and Barrie at 22nd -- that were awarded when their first rounders last year opted not to report. The draft can be followed live at www.ontariohockeyleague.com beginning at 9 a.m. ET. --- -- Canadian Press sports writer Bill Beacon contributed to this report ' ' '
