Bills | Evan Rodriguez could see time at TE Sun Jul 27, 09:15 PM
Buffalo Bills FB Evan Rodriguez could receive practice time at tight end because of the injuries to TEs Scott Chandler (groin), Tony Moeaki (hamstring) and Chris Gragg (cramps).
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez can do both. He's big, agile and a good receiver. We can't see the switch being permanent, but Rodriguez is more like an H-back than he is a true fullback. |

Bills | Frank Summers, Evan Rodriguez up for FB job Sun Jun 22, 08:28 PM
Buffalo Bills FB Frank Summers and FB Evan Rodriguez split reps at the position during offseason workouts and likely will continue to split time during training camp.

Dolphins | FBs not being used Mon Jul 22, 02:44 PM
The Miami Dolphins have been using tight ends as the lead blocker when lining up in the I-formation during practice. The team has also been lining up in a one-back formation with three wide receivers and a tight end.
