Bills notebook: Jauron up to speed on Owens' skills
Buffalo Bills coach Dick Jauron liked what he saw from receiver Terrell Owens during the team's first week of organized team activity practices.
"He looks like a guy that's caught a lot of passes in our game and knows what he's doing and knows how to do it," Jauron said Wednesday. "He clearly presents a very good target and knows how to play coverages, how to play defenders and he plays with a lot of confidence. So we're very happy that he's here with us. He'll do a lot of things for our offense."
The team practiced for 90 minutes in Buffalo Bills Fieldhouse. Owens' run-after-the-catch ability was very impressive over the first three days of spring practices.

Cornerback Ashton Youboty sat out practices this week and may sit out until training camp. Youboty missed the last half of last season with a foot injury — plantar fasciitis. The Bills are being cautious with him this spring.
"He's getting better and better all of the time," Jauron said. "We just want to make sure he's ready for training camp. Through this period, we'll just see how it goes. He's been heading in the right direction now for a number of weeks, so we're happy about that."

Watching practice as a guest of the team was Jason Winters, a Lockport High senior football player who won the Athletes in Action Call to Courage Award last month.
