Bills GM Brandon Beane informed reporters that DE Jerry Hughes will start training camp on the non-football injury list, per Chris Brown.
Hughes did not pass his entrance physical because of a calf strain.
He will still count against the 90-man roster and is eligible to come off the list at any time after he passes his physical.
Hughes, 32, is a former first-round pick of the Colts back in 2010. He spent three years in Indianapolis before he was traded to the Bills in 2013 for LB Kelvin Sheppard.
Hughes was entering the final year of his five-year, $45 million contract that included $22.15 million guaranteed and was set to make a base salary of $6.35 million in 2019 when he signed a two-year extension to stay in Buffalo.
In 2020, Hughes appeared in 15 games for the Bills and recorded 29 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two recoveries, including one returned for a touchdown, an interception and three pass defenses.
