Bon Jovi: I want to keep the Bills in Buffalo

Jon Bon Jovi is hoping he’s written a hit with Buffalo Bills fans in a bid to stem concerns of whether his prospective ownership group plans to buy and potentially relocate the franchise to Toronto.

In a letter published by the Buffalo News on Sunday, Bon Jovi wrote that it’s his ownership group’s objective “to make the Bills successful in Buffalo.” The letter marks the first time the New Jersey rocker has publicly discussed his plans regarding the franchise.

The team is for sale after Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March.

Calling it his intention to “carry on Ralph Wilson’s legacy” in Buffalo, Bon Jovi said his group is committed to working with state and local officials and the business community to identify a new stadium site in the region.

FALCONS: Backup offensive tackle Terren Jones was carted off the practice field and taken to a hospital with an un known injury. Coach Mike Smith said the team didn’t have an immediate update on the status of Jones, who was in a neck brace when he was taken to an ambulance.

The Falcons also added depth at safety by signing free agent Tyrell Johnson. The move came after safety Dwight Lowery left Friday night’s scrimmage with a concussion.

CHIEFS: Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry and starting cornerback Marcus Cooper were back on the practice field after a couple of minor injuries sidelined them from training camp.

TITANS: Left guard Andy Levitre was removed from the nonfootball injury list 10 days after an appendectomy, and he returned to the field.
