The Facts: The Bills kicked off their first offseason program under new HC Sean McDermott on Monday and there was just one player absent from the voluntary workout: McCoy.

Diehards Line:McDermott stressed the voluntary nature of the workout when asked about McCoy’s absence and said he wasn’t sure when McCoy would join the team, but that he’s had good conversations with the veteran back since getting the job earlier this year. As PFT notes, in an Instagram post on Monday, McCoy shared birthday wishes for his now five-year-old son and that may explain why he wasn’t in Buffalo for the start of the team’s work. Whatever the reason for his absence, it didn’t seem to be a big deal for McDermott and probably won’t become one unless McCoy is missing for a much larger chunk of the offseason.
