Buffalo Bills Linebacker Jamari Lattimore Broke His Nose During a Walk Through

The Buffalo Bills are – as always – a strong contender to win the offseason, but their quest took a step backwards on Thursday when 27-year old veteran linebacker Jamari Lattimore broke his nose during a walk through. From the Buffalo News transcript of Rex Ryan’s press conference:

"Q: Rex (Jamari) Lattimore has been out for the last couple of practices. A: I forgot to tell you about that. He got his nose broken. You know—and no, there wasn’t a punch or anything. It was a — we were actually through, just walking through a drill and a player slipped and when the player did he fell back, like this, and his knee came up and actually UFC’d him right in the nose. So, it was like, it was a, you know, it was an accident, but it’s just one of those things that happens."

See, when a player breaks a bone in his face and you have IK Enemkpali on your team, you have to be very careful to communicate that no punches were thrown. Lattimore played last season with the Jets.
