Bills All-Pro S Jordan Poyer out 'maybe a week or two' with hyperextended elbow, HC Sean McDermott 'not overly concerned'

All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer suffered what was reported at the time to be a " potentially serious " arm injury during Buffalo Bills training camp on Tuesday. Poyer hasn't returned to practice yet, but head coach Sean McDermott expanded on the severity of the injury — determined to be a hyperextended elbow — on Thursday morning.

While he wasn't able to commit to Poyer's availability for Week 1, McDermott said he isn't too worried about it. The Bills also saw one-time Pro Bowl safety Micah Hyde go down with a hip injury last week, but the former Green Bay Packer has been back on the practice field this week.

Poyer posted 93 tackles, nine passes defensed, eight tackles for loss and tied for his career high with five interceptions while adding a career-high 3.0 sacks as well last season. The Oregon St. product sat out Buffalo's voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) earlier this summer, as he awaits a potential contract extension, before joining his teammates in mid-June for mandatory minicamp.

Two-time Pro Bowler Tre'Davious White and rookie first-round pick Kaiir Elam join Hyde and Poyer in the Bills' starting secondary on their projected depth chart.
