Buffalo is off Monday and resumes camp Tuesday in suburban Rochester.

Massachusetts' high court will consider whether the state should get rid of a centuries-old legal principle that erased Aaron Hernandez's murder conviction after the former New England Patriots tight end killed himself.

The Supreme Judicial Court recently announced that it will hear the former NFL star's case and examine the legal principle under which courts typically dismiss the convictions of defendants who die before their direct appeals can be heard.

Hernandez's murder conviction in the killing of Odin Lloyd was dismissed after Hernandez was found hanging in his cell last year.

A single Supreme Judicial Court justice last year denied prosecutors' request to reinstate Hernandez's conviction.

Hernandez was acquitted of killing Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado days before his prison suicide.


The Buffalo Bills continue shuffling their defensive front during the first week of training camp by signing end Ryan Russell.

Russell is listed at 6-foot-5 and 267 pounds Authentic Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , and has three seasons of NFL experience, including the past two with Tampa Bay. He had two sacks in 14 games Marcus Davenport Saints Jersey , including six starts, with the Buccaneers last season.

He was selected by Dallas in the fifth round of the 2015 draft out of Purdue Seahawks Game Jerseys , but appeared in just one game for the Cowboys.

Buffalo freed up room on its roster on Sunday by releasing Owa Odighizuwa, an offseason free agent addition. Odighizuwa was attempting to resume his career after missing all of last season Authentic Ryan McDonagh Jersey , when he was cut by the New York Giants shortly after being issued a four-game NFL suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancers.

The Bills opened training camp Thursday by signing defensive tackle John Hughes.

Injuries have depleted Buffalo's depth at tight end. Nick O'Leary missed practice Sunday because of an injury to his right foot. Logan Thomas did not return to practice Sunday after hurting his shoulder.
