Doug Marrone has said that he expects to see a "very enthusiastic" performance in the Buffalo Bills' final practice before their first game of the pre-season.

The AFC East side will take to the practice field for the last time later today ahead of their Sunday clash with the Indianapolis Colts.

The team's head coach told reporters: "We're looking to get a good, enthusiastic, fresh practice, running around, getting some guys back that are sore, seeing where they are.

"Sometime [today] with the staff and the coordinators talking about who's playing, but these guys will be ready to come back now because this is a perfect time.

"They had a really, really good practice [on Thursday]. We're going to get some rest [today]. I think we will be very enthusiastic for a Friday night practice."

Marrone was appointed as the team's head coach earlier this year following Chan Gailey's sacking at the end of the 2012 season.
