PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills guard Richie Incognito took the next step in his return to football following a 15-month hiatus for his role in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal.
Three days into training camp, coach Rex Ryan named Incognito the team's starting left guard. Ryan made the announcement Sunday when he included Incognito along with center Eric Wood and left tackle Cordy Glenn as three offensive linemen he regards as starters.
That's a significant step for Incognito, the eighth-year player who signed with Buffalo in January. He had been out of football since midway through the 2013 season, when he was suspended for being a central figure in a bullying scandal that led to offensive lineman Jonathan Martin leaving the Dolphins.
