Another player to watch this week coming back from injury is guard Cody Ford. The former second round pick saw his season end early after suffering a torn meniscus at the end of November. He had surgery to repair that but then after the season also had shoulder surgery from an injury suffered during his rookie season.

Ford is in a different spot than Zack Moss because while Moss is trying to move up to the depth chart, Ford is entering training camp trying to hold onto his starting spot. After playing tackle as a rookie, he moved inside to play guard last season.

He will enter training camp likely at left guard with Jon Feliciano returning to play right guard. He will have competition from players like Ike Boettger, who replaced Ford last season after the injury, and Forrest Lamp, who was a free agent signing this offseason.

Now entering his third season with the Bills, and second at guard, it will be important for Cody Ford to get off to a fast start at training camp to hold onto that starting job.
