Bills at camp, but Peters' absence is noted

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Clear skies greeted the Buffalo Bills for the opening of their mandatory camp Wednesday, but a few nasty clouds hovered around the franchise.

Halfback Marshawn Lynch, who was in attendance and was practicing, is awaiting word from the Erie County District Attorney's office whether it was going to charge him for his alleged role in a hit-and-run incident on May 31.

District attorney Frank Clark has said his office believes Lynch was the driver of a 2008 Porsche SUV that struck a woman in downtown Buffalo.

"The Buffalo police department has an ongoing investigation," Bills coach Dick Jauron said. "We have great faith in them, and we have great faith in the legal system. Marshawn has representation, so any comment will come from either him or his lawyer."

Lynch did not do any interviews after the morning practice and has not commented since the incident occurred.

The other cloud involves Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, who has skipped the offseason program in hopes of getting a new contract.

Peters, who has three years remaining on the five-year, $20.1 million deal he signed in 2006, missed the minicamp Wednesday and might choose to hold out of training camp.
