The Bills have gotten off to a decent start this year, even without their most expensive player.
But whether the results change or not, defensive tackle Marcell Dareus vows to his maker to be on the field, finally.
“Oh my god. I’m playing Sunday, man,” Dareus said, via Nick Veronica of the Buffalo News. “I can’t wait. I’m ready to enjoy myself. Just happy to be out there with the guys. Running around, feeling good. We’re ready to go pull it off, man, we’re going to make it happen.”
Dareus missed the first four games because of his suspension, and the last three because of a hamstring injury. But he said he didn’t feel like he began his comeback out of shape.
“I did whatever the team needed me to do,” Dareus said. “Whatever our trainers requested of me, whatever our strength coaches felt was best, stuck to a strict plan and hopefully this time it works because I don’t need any more minor setbacks. I’m ready to play, man. Sitting on the bench isn’t even fun.”
Nor for the Bills, who committed a lot of money for him to not contribute this season.
