The Facts: Royal, who gutted out the 2007 campaign at less than 100 percent, is looking to get back to top form following offseason knee surgery. "I'm just focused on being here and trying to get better, rehabbing and doing the things I can do to prepare myself to get on the field," he said.
Diehards Line:After serving as the starter the past two seasons, Royal is hoping to lead the tight end corps again this year. That's why he's spent almost his entire offseason rehabbing his knee in Buffalo. He hopes to be fully recovered in time for training camp. ... Getting back on the field will be important at a position that has a lot of options in terms of players, but no clear cut answers at this point. "There's no doubt it's unsettled," HC Dick Jauron said. This after the Bills added Courtney Anderson and Teyo Johnson in free agency and Derek Fine in April's draft.
