The Buffalo Bills welcome the Chicago Bears to Highmark Stadium on Saturday for their preseason opener.
In doing so, a few familiar faces will be in the building for the 1 p.m. kickoff.
The most prominent one is linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. The former first-round pick of the Bills, he was selected in the same draft class with current Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen in 2018.
Along with Edmunds, tight end Tommy Sweeney and offensive lineman Ryan Bates make their Orchard Park returns as well.
As is usually the case, the trio of ex-Bills players used time before kickoff to catchup with former teammates.
Those clips of that action shared to social media can be found below:
