Which Bills players were not in attendance on Day 1 on OTAs?

[ASFN Admin]

The 2026 Buffalo Bills took the field for the first time as a full team early this week.

Albeit... just for spring practices. But it's a start.

Both veteran offseason additions and rookies from the 2026 NFL Draft were together in Orchard Park with returning players. Workouts are voluntary, but many vets were at One Bills Drive, including quarterback Josh Allen and trade acquisition DJ Moore.

However, not all of them were.

Again, the workout are not required attendance. That is not the case until mandatory minicamp.

In terms of who was not at OTAs on Monday, ESPN has reported a handful of veterans and new faces not in Orchard Park. In addition, some still injured players were present as they were taking the cautious approach.

ESPN's full list of both can be found below:

LT Dion Dawkins, RT Spencer Brown, WR Tyrell Shavers and CB Dorian Strong (wearing a neck brace) were present, but not participating.

OLB Michael Hoecht was working to the side. WR Joshua Palmer was also to the side for most of the session.
