Jonathon Brooks to play with ones in Buffalo

Left guard Damien Lewis participated in some individual drills Wednesday, his first extended work since a calf issue earlier in camp.

After individual, he was back on the side with right guard Robert Hunt (back), as they continue to ease them back into action. There’s no hurry, since they have an extra preseason game, and Canales said the priority is having them ready for a long season.

“D-Lew looked great, was able to move around some,” Canales said. “We kept him out of team, got him some extra work on the side, and then that’ll be his next progression.”

Canales said Lewis would not play Saturday at Buffalo. With Lewis and Hunt out lately, they’ve used Chandler Zavala and Brady Christensen with the starting line.

“I don’t think he’ll play, just right now because we haven’t gotten him into the team setting,” Canales said of Lewis. “That level of conditioning, I’m not ready to put him out there right now.”

Outside linebacker Patrick Jones II was held out of practice Wednesday.

Canales said it was just an illness, and they wanted to make sure to get him rehydrated.

“It’s kind of like the snowball effect: if somebody’s dehydrated, dealing with some type of an illness, then all of a sudden your soft tissue and everything becomes vulnerable, so we want to give him another day to recuperate. He should be back tomorrow.”
