Sources inside the team revealed that Gore Jr. overslept after a late-night film study session and arrived at the stadium to find the bus already gone. Staff quickly arranged a ride for him, but the delay gave McDermott a chance to set the tone for camp.

“On time means early. Fall in line or fall out,” McDermott said. Then, with a smirk, he added, “We’re not running a daycare — this is the NFL.”

For the Bills, the incident is less about punctuality and more about reinforcing a culture of accountability. Veterans were seen nodding in approval, understanding that the message was aimed at everyone, not just the rookie.

Frank Gore Jr., the son of NFL legend Frank Gore, is fighting for a roster spot in a crowded backfield. Missing the team bus is hardly ideal, but his work ethic in camp has kept him in good standing — for now.

Team officials confirmed the punishment was an internal fine only. Gore Jr. will still suit up for the preseason game, and McDermott insists the incident is already “water under the bridge.”

Steelers Linked To Saints SuperStar With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade
Pittsburgh, PA — According to a  circulating on X (Twitter), the Pittsburgh Steelers have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Steelers look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set that meshes with Pittsburgh’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Pittsburgh intriguing two-back looks alongside Najee Harris on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Black and Gold really excites me.” As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Steelers or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Pittsburgh whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Steelers Nation perk up.
