The Bills "have been in touch" with restricted free agent WR David Nelson. There have been conflicting reports on if Nelson will be tendered. In an interview at the Combine, GM Buddy Nix said that he plans re-open talks before the start of free agency. After missing all of 2012 with an ACL injury, the Bills are considering the medical risks in keeping Nelson, but would be lacking depth at receiver if he isn't re-signed. Nelson is "hoping to be full-go" for OTAs, and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole says the Bills are not expected to tender an offer to restricted free agent WR David Nelson. This goes against what the Buffalo News reported just two weeks ago. Nelson tore his ACL in Week 1 last season, but he's hoping to be full-go for OTAs. Buffalo already released fellow RFA receiver Donald Jones, and Nelson could be next as they overhaul their receiving corps. He's no more than a slot guy.

The Bills are expected to tender an offer to restricted free agent WR David Nelson this offseason. Nelson (ACL surgery) was injured in Week 1 of the regular season and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. After being used exclusively in the slot during his first three seasons, he could be asked to move outside in HC Doug Marrone's offense. The Bills currently lack receiver depth after parting ways with Donald Jones, so Nelson is a strong candidate to be re-signed.

David Nelson (torn ACL) is "hoping to be full-go" for OTAs, but says he should be 100 percent by training camp. Nelson said he's been running routes, moving laterally, and doing plyometrics, but he did say he isn't doing much cutting, while decelerating gives him "a little bit of an issue." Nelson tore his ACL in Week 1 versus the Jets this past season. An impending restricted free agent, Nelson says the Bills have already reached out to him about re-signing.

Bills WR David Nelson will have surgery to repair his torn ACL on Thursday. Dr. James Andrews will perform the operation. Since the injury occurred during Week 1, Nelson is a decent bet to be ready for 2013 training camp. He'll be a restricted free agent after this season.

Bills WR David Nelson has suffered a torn ACL, and is done for the season. It's devastating news for a Bills' passing attack that had an awful afternoon in Sunday's blowout loss to the Jets. Buffalo will now likely turn to Donald Jones in the slot, and line up third-round rookie T.J. Graham on the outside opposite Stevie Johnson. The Bills will be in even bigger trouble if Johnson's groin woes linger like they did in 2011. The news obviously clouds Nelson's future after he posted a 61/658/5 line in his second season as an undrafted free agent out of Florida in 2011, but he won't turn 26 until November. He should bounce back. Suffering his injury in Week 1 also puts Nelson in position to be ready for camp next summer.

Profootballtalk.com reports that the Bills fear David Nelson tore his ACL in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Bills slot receiver David Nelson (strained leg) has resumed participating in team drills. Nelson isn't quite 100 percent, but he should be in a matter of days and figures to start at slot receiver by Buffalo's third preseason game. Nelson will be a low-upside WR4/5 in 2012 fantasy leagues. He's a red-zone weapon at 6'5/215.

David Nelson (strained leg) returned to Bills practice Monday, albeit in a limited fashion. He won't suit up for Thursday's preseason opener, nor will C Eric Wood (ACL surgery). The good news, however, is that Stevie Johnson (groin) is considered probable. It won't be a concern if the Bills ultimately opt for caution and sit their No. 1 receiver.

Bills slot receiver David Nelson will miss 4-5 days of training camp with a strained tendon in his right leg. Nelson was spotted walking after the injury with a "slight limp" while donning a wrap on the leg. He initially feared it was worse, so 4-5 missed days wound up being a relief. The Bills' preseason opener isn't until August 9.
