Dickerson's work at tight end an opportunity

BY DAN BEGNOCHE

For most reserve and fringe players, proving versatility and absorbing as many reps as possible is the best way to stay on an NFL roster -- at least that seems to be Dorin Dickerson's plan.

The Buffalo Bills' utility man was in the process of transitioning into a wide receiver role when injuries to tight ends Mickey Shuler and Lee Smith left a hole in the team's depth chart.

With Scott Chandler already rehabbing, Dickerson jumped in to fill the void during the team's OTA workouts.

Bills sign rookie camp participants Dickerson, Saenz

Dorin Dickerson and Nick Saenz had a chance to don some Bills gear over the weekend, and it looks like they'll be wearing Buffalo's colors a little longer.

Dickerson, an H-back player, and Saenz, a safety, participated in the Bills' three-day rookie camp and were signed Monday, according to the team's website.

Dickerson was drafted out of Pittsburgh by the Texans in 2010 and saw some special teams action that year before spending time on the Steelers and Patriots practice squads.

Saenz, an undrafted free agent out of the University of Houston, started three years in college.
