PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills backup offensive lineman Alec Anderson was transported by ambulance to a hospital after experiencing heat-related issues following practice on Tuesday.

The Bills provided no other updates on Anderson, who appeared to have difficulty getting up after the team’s post-practice stretching period.

Several Bills players and coach Sean McDermott were gathered near the ambulance after Anderson was loaded into the vehicle. Offensive lineman Kevin Jarvis was seen flashing a thumbs-up sign to his teammate through the ambulance window.

The Bills had just completed their sixth day of training camp in suburban Rochester, New York. Temperatures were in the mid-80s.

The practice was one of the team’s longest of camp in going just over two hours. Players practiced in light pads and shorts a day after the team’s first full-padded session.

The Bills have a day off on Wednesday before resuming camp on Thursday.
