Newsbreakers
November 11, 2009
Shawn Nelson (illness) fully practiced Wednesday, according to the Bills' official website.

Our View:Nelson missed the last two games, but appears to be nearing his return to the gridiron. The rookie tight end has a bright future in the NFL, but is not yet a fantasy option while learning the ropes as a backup.
November 10, 2009
Shawn Nelson (migraines) participated in Bills practice for the first time in three weeks on Monday, according to the Buffalo News.

Our View:His status for Week 10 is still unknown, however. Whenever he finally gets back on the field, Nelson is still a season or two away from possessing fantasy value at tight end.
November 3, 2009
Head coach Dick Jauron noted that Shawn Nelson could return to practice this week, according to the Buffalo News. He has been recovering from an illness.

Our View:The Bills have their bye this week, and Nelson should be recovered in time for Week 10 at Tennessee. He has a bright future in the NFL, but currently holds little fantasy value as a backup.
October 30, 2009
Shawn Nelson is out for Week 8 as he deals with an illness, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:Nelson is a talented young rookie, but is still a few seasons away from fantasy viability.
October 29, 2009
Shawn Nelson missed practice for the second straight day Thursday, according to the Texans' official website.

Our View:The rookie is dealing with an illness, and it is uncertain if he will be recovered in time to play on Sunday against Houston. He has a bright future, but only caught six passes over his first five games in the NFL.
October 28, 2009
Shawn Nelson missed today's practice while still recovering from the flu, according to the Bills' official website.

Our View:Nelson has a bright future in the NFL, but currently holds little fantasy value while learning the ropes as a reserve. He won't be missed if unable to play in Week 8 against Houston.
October 27, 2009
Still dealing with the flu, back-up tight end Shawn Nelson is considered day-to-day, according to the Buffalo News.

Our View:Nelson must have some kind of flu, as he did practice at all last week. Regardless, he is not fantasy relevant.
October 24, 2009
According to Buffalobills.com, tight end Shawn Nelson has been ruled out for Week 7 due to flu-like symptoms.

Our View:Nelson did not practice all week, so this decision shouldn't come as a surprise. Now that he is out, the Bills have just two healthy tight ends on the roster: Derek Fine and Jonathan Stupar.
October 23, 2009
Shawn Nelson is doubtful for Sunday's game at Carolina, according to the Bills' official website.

Our View:The rookie tight end was out of practice all week while dealing with an illness. He has a bright future in the NFL, but won't be missed right now while serving as a backup.
October 22, 2009
Shawn Nelson did not practice for the second straight day Thursday while dealing with a concussion, according to the Bills' official website.

Our View:Nelson seems unlikely to play in Week 7. The rookie has the receiving skills to make an impact in fantasy leagues down the road, but holds little value right now while learning the ropes as a reserve.
October 21, 2009
Shawn Nelson missed Wednesday's practice, according to the Bills' official website.

Our View:The rookie tight end suffered a concussion in Week 6, and is uncertain for Sunday's game at Carolina. He has a bright future in the NFL, but currently is not a fantasy option.
October 19, 2009
The Buffalo News reports that tight end Shawn Nelson suffered a concussion in the Bills' overtime win over the Jets on Sunday.

Our View:His status for Week 7 is unknown. He is not the Bills' starting tight end, and not a fantasy consideration.
September 27, 2009
Bills Week 3 inactives: QB Gibran Hamdan, WR Justin Jenkins, LB Paul Posluszny, DT John McCargo, DB Ellis Lankster, OT Jamon Meredith, DL Chris Ellis and TE Shawn Nelson.

Our View:McCargo's depth will be missed in the Bills' rotation at defensive tackle while trying to slow down Drew Brees and the Saints' high-powered passing attack. Derek Fine with start at tight end with rookie Nelson out, but holds little fantasy value.
September 21, 2009
The sprained shoulder that forced Shawn Nelson from the Bills' game against the Bucs on Sunday is not believed to be serious enough to keep him out vs. the Saints next weekend, according to BuffaloBills.com.

Our View:The Bills direly need Nelson's injury to not be serious, since he will now be counted on in the Bills offense with starting tight end Derek Schouman also going down against the Bucs with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. He will likely be limited in practice this week, but good-to-go for Sunday.
September 20, 2009
Shawn Nelson exited the game against Tampa Bay with a sprained shoulder.

Our View:Nelson is questionable to return, and we will provide additional updates as they become available.
August 17, 2009
Shawn Nelson exited Monday's practice early, according to the Bills' official website.

Our View:The rookie looked weak in the knees while leaving the practice field, and may have been bothered by the heat. The Bills are yet to update his status.
July 24, 2009
Shawn Nelson has inked a four-year deal with the Bills, according to the Associated Press. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Our View:Nelson is a good athlete with the ability to make tough catches in traffic, and will compete for the starting gig at tight end as a rookie. He could develop into a solid receiving threat for Buffalo, but needs to improve his blocking.
June 10, 2009
Rookie tight end Shawn Nelson returned to the field on Tuesday after missing five days of OTA work due to personal issues, the Buffalo News reports.

Our View:Nelson is a tall, athletic, pass-catching tight end who could help work the middle of the field for the Bills this season. We don't anticipate a lot of first-year fantasy value, but he does have upside.
June 5, 2009
Buffalobills.com is reporting that rookie Shawn Nelson missed this week of OTAs with personal issues.

Our View:Hopefully they had nothing to do with helping T.O. find a home. Nelson is expected to return next week, and to be a contributor to the Bills offense this season.
April 26, 2009
The Buffalo Bills selected Southern Mississippi tight end Shawn Nelson with the 121st overall selection in the 2009 NFL draft.

Our View:The Bills don't have an accomplished tight end on their depth chart, giving Nelson the chance to make an impact during his rookie season. He possesses outstanding hands and speed, and provides quarterback Trent Edwards with another weapon who can threaten the seam in the passing game.
