Dons red non-contact jersey Bishop (shoulder) returned to practice Tuesday and did not participate in contact drills, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Bishop suffered a shoulder injury at the end of July, which has kept him from participating in practices and preseason games. He's progressed enough in his recovery to take part in walkthroughs and individual drills, but he will avoid engaging in contact and will likely not suit up for Buffalo's preseason finale against Carolina on Saturday. Once healthy, Bishop -- the Bills' second-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft -- could see some meaningful defensive snaps early in the regular season due to injuries to safeties Damar Hamlin (hamstring) and Mike Edwards (hamstring)

As a 2024 second-round pick, Bishop is still likely to make the 53-man roster, and he's expected to work in a backup role while also serving on special teams.
