PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly urged Buffalo Bills fans to keep their faith in the team after Friday’s unexpected trades that sent wide receiver Sammy Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams and cornerback Ronald Darby to the Philadelphia Eagles.

“I’m a former player,” he said during a visit to Sunday’s training camp practice at St. John Fisher College. “You want to win. You want to win now. I get it. I understand that. It’s not always that way with all fans. But the ones who really do get it, understand it, that know the game of football — [they know] that sometimes these things take a little longer. Never would anyone of us expect 17 years not being able to see a January football game.

“Just got to keep your hope, stay on the wagon, hopefully it’s sooner rather than later.”

Kelly lauded Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula for allowing general manager Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott to reshape their roster with the trades, which included the Bills acquiring the Rams’ second-round pick and the Eagles’ third-round pick in 2018.

In January, Kelly said Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor was not on the level of a franchise quarterback. The trade of Watkins now strips Taylor of his top target.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe took to social media on Saturday to say he “dodged a bullet” with a right ankle injury after he had been carted off the field during practice.

Wolfe found himself in a pile during a running play during a team drill early in practice — tackle Menelik Watson limped, flexing his own right leg following the play — and stayed down. Trainers helped Wolfe onto a cart, and he was taken to the locker room.

Wolfe later expressed his relief on Twitter that the injury wasn’t as serious as it initially appeared when trainers helped him into the Broncos’ complex, as he couldn’t put weight on his right leg.

Wolfe also posted a picture of his swollen ankle after he had an MRI. In a text to ESPN’s Josina Anderson Wolfe, he said the injury was a sprain and that he would be ready for the Sept. 11 regular-season opener against the San Diego Chargers.

Zinedine Zidane indicated on Saturday that he’s signed a new contract with Real Madrid, but played down the importance of the paperwork’s duration.

Various reports preceding Zidane’s media address – including one from Joaquin Maroto of AS – stated that the French manager was set to ink terms to tie him to the club until the summer of 2020, and he subsequently offered that he was “happy” to extend his stay, according to AFP.

“My story with Real Madrid is deeper than contracts and signatures,” Zidane told reporters, as translated by Sporting News.

“I’m happy to be linked with the club. But the contract doesn’t mean anything. You can sign for 10-20 years. I know where I am and what to do. In one year, maybe I won’t be here. Real Madrid and I are not going to argue, never.”

Zidane was probably due a show of trust from Los Blancos’ hierarchy. Since taking the reins from Rafa Benitez in January 2016, the former midfielder’s influence has been huge. He’s won back-to-back Champions League triumphs (the first manager to do so since AC Milan legend Arrigo Sacchi), a La Liga title, and other coveted silverware. He’s also overseen the successful reinvention of Cristiano Ronaldo as a relentless No. 9, and Isco’s rejuvenation when spearheading a midfield diamond – a position harking back to Zidane’s own in the Galacticos era.

His appointment to the Real Madrid helm was initially disparagingly viewed by some as a temporary fix; a promotion from the Castilla contingent to help smooth things over after the discord left by the Benitez regime. Now, one of the most influential players in history has firmly established himself among the managerial elite.

“I’m very happy to have the confidence Real Madrid shows in me,” Zidane added. “I’m happy to be working so well with my staff. And the objectives are always the same: trying to win every single game and every single title. We are enjoying our job a lot.”

Zidane was speaking ahead of Sunday’s first-leg bout with Clasico rival Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the Supercopa de Espana.
