Bills' Shaq Lawson: Set to miss first portion of regular season

Lawson (shoulder) is expected to return between Weeks 6 and 8, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Lawson, currently on the PUP list after undergoing shoulder surgery in May, is eyeing a return well into the regular season. It appears the Bills will be without their 2016 first-round draft pick, and projected starter at outside linebacker, for at least their first five games. Expect Manny Lawson to start in Shaq's place come Week 1.
