FILE - Tennessee Titans guard Rodger Saffold (76) celebrates with fans after a win over the Houston Texans in an NFL football game, Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022, in Houston. Saffold, now with the Buffalo Bills, is so happy to be back practicing since recovering from rib injuries sustained in a car accident, the veteran offensive lineman doesn’t mind being used as “a dummy.” That’s the term Saffold used in explaining how Buffalo’s new offensive line coach Aaron Kromer is leaning on him to visually display various new techniques.
