Jessica Camacho: 'Countdown' agent great at reading people, situations
1 of 2 | Jessica Camacho and Jensen Ackles star in "Countdown," airing on Wednesdays. Photo courtesy of Prime Video NEW YORK, July 16 (UPI) -- Bosch: Legacy, Sleepy Hollow and The Flash alum Jessica Camacho says Amber Oliveras, the DEA agent she plays, is a strong, smart, essential member of her team on the freshman action-drama series Countdown. "She specializes in going undercover, so she's good at slipping into different identities," Camacho, 42, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "She's good at selling a story. She's good at reading people, assessing a situation very quickly, paying attention, putting a plan together, executing that plan. She's got a lot of skills. She's quite capable, in summary." With new episodes rolling out Wednesdays, the Prime Video show follows a multi-department task force investigating the brazen murder of a Department of Homeland Security agent. The role is a physically demanding one for Camacho, whose Oliveras is always on the move, chasing down the bad guys. "That part was challenging, but also fun to kind of rise up to that occasion and dig within myself for that great resilience, for that internal strength to show up properly and to give her the energy that she deserves," Camacho said. "It was hard, but it was great." Eric Dane's Nathan Blythe is the FBI senior special agent in charge of the operation, while Jensen Ackles plays Mark Meachum, a hotshot LAPD detective. Drop and God Friended Me actress Violett Beane, 29, plays tech-savvy rookie FBI Agent Evan Shepherd, who graduated at the top of her class at Quantico. "She's the newest addition to the team," Beane said. "She is young. She's eager. She has a lot to prove and she doesn't always say the right things, but she means well." Over the course of the season, Evan's cyber-expertise proves valuable to the team. "She finds a few of the clues that are pretty pertinent to the case and offers the skill set, whether it be hacking -- which she doesn't like it to be called that, but that's what it is -- coding, other things, where she's able to find sort of that little piece of the puzzle that maybe was overlooked," Beane said. "She does a lot of computer work, a lot behind the computer, but you see her get out into the field, interrogating people, interviewing them. It's been so fun to play," she added. Like the other younger members of the task force, Evan finds herself constantly seeking Blythe's approval. "We had this ongoing thing on set where we were just like: 'Dad? Papa?'" Beane laughed. "Everyone, I feel like, is sort of vying for Blythe's approval." "We want to please him," Camacho agreed. "Every character respects Blythe so much and, so, we want his approval and I think Evan, being the youngest one, she's definitely vying for it a bit more."

Shocking lawsuit: Bills rookie Maxwell Hairston accused of sexual assault in dorm room incident
Maxwell Hairston's rookie year begins with sexual assault lawsuit filed in federal court. (AP Photo/Jeffrey T. Barnes) Just months after being drafted in the first round by the Buffalo Bills, rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston is now facing a civil lawsuit over a sexual assault allegation stemming from his time as a freshman at the University of Kentucky. The lawsuit has thrown fresh scrutiny on the team's vetting process and the NFL's handling of off-field allegations especially when involving high-profile draft picks. Allegation traces back to 2021, when Hairston was a 17-year-old college freshman According to court documents filed in Kentucky federal court, Hairston is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in March 2021 inside her dorm room while she was incapacitated. The plaintiff, identified in the suit as Rebecca Hendryx, says she had been drinking and lost consciousness before the alleged assault took place. The lawsuit claims Hairston and another football player, who remains unnamed, entered her room without permission and forcibly removed her clothing before assaulting her. Hendryx says she reported the incident to law enforcement, underwent a sexual assault forensic exam at a hospital, and later filed a Title IX complaint through the university. Despite the complaint, Hairston was not criminally charged at the time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Husband Leaves Sick Wife For His Mistress. When He Returns For Her Inheritance, She Does This Cleverst Undo The incident was not made public during his college career or throughout the NFL Draft process. Bills GM Brandon Beane says the team knew, vetted, and cleared Hairston Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane confirmed earlier this year that the organization was aware of the 2021 Title IX investigation when evaluating Hairston as a draft prospect. In fact, Beane said Hairston voluntarily took a polygraph test to support his denial of the allegations. 'He's an impeccable kid. We fully investigated that. We have zero information saying this actually happened,' Beane said during the draft weekend. Beane added that Hairston would not have been invited to the NFL Combine if the league had serious concerns. But the lawsuit now puts that confidence under the spotlight, as it introduces new legal proceedings into an issue the public only learned about after Hairston was drafted. NFL has yet to comment; league policy allows civil cases to trigger review So far, the NFL has not issued a formal statement. Under its Personal Conduct Policy, however, a civil lawsuit even without criminal charges can trigger an independent league investigation and potentially lead to disciplinary action depending on the findings. The Bills have not issued a new comment following the lawsuit's filing, but will likely face increasing pressure from both media and fans regarding Hairston's status on the team heading into training camp. The NFL has seen similar cases before, and how the league and team respond in the coming weeks could determine whether Hairston remains on the field or faces time away from the game.

Pressure Increasing For One Bills Veteran In Jeopardy
Pressure Increasing For One Bills Veteran In Jeopardy originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane had one of the most aggressive offseasons of his tenure this year. Beane has been at the helm of the Bills front office since 2017, and his moves this offseason have shown fans that Beane recognizes the Bills' championship window is now. Advertisement The Bills are entering into their final break of the summer before picking back up in training camp next month at St. John Fisher University, where their camp has been held for the past few years. Beane acquired a lot of veterans to plug up holes in the roster, including a pair of former Bills draft picks in the secondary. After a one-year absence from the franchise, split between the Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens, Tre'Davious White is back in town. The Bills drafted White in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The former No. 27 overall pick spent his first seven NFL years in Buffalo, earning a pair of Pro Bowl appearances and a first team All-Pro. Now, White is challenging his former and once again current teammate, Dane Jackson, for a job. Jackson was a late-round draft success story for the Bills, who selected him in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Jackson spent his first four NFL seasons in Buffalo, starting in 28 of his 52 games. Jackson spent last season with the Carolina Panthers, and is once again reunited with White in Buffalo. Advertisement Even though Jackson is back in Buffalo and knows head coach Sean McDermott's defense well, he may be in roster trouble heading into camp based on Beane's moves this offseason. NFL Spin Zone's Sayre Bedinger noted one player from each NFL team who faces the most pressure after minicamp, and Jackson was his pick. "They [the Bills] were rumored to be interested in a potential Jaire Alexander trade before he was cut, and they brought back former 1st-round pick Tre'Davious White." Bedinger wrote. "The moves the Bills have made in the defensive backfield put a player like Dane Jackson in the roster crosshairs and if the Bills feel like their investments in youth at the cornerback position can work out quickly, they likely won't hesitate to dump Jackson."

4 takeaways from Bills minicamp: Hairston hurt, Kincaid, Andreessen impress
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) — An eventful offseason highlighted by celebrated nuptials, feature film productions, monumental stadium construction and roster renovations has reached the point where Buffalo Bills players and coaches take an extended break from the football field before coming back together for training camp in late July. Here are some takeaways from this week's mandatory minicamp that concluded the offseason training program. Bumps & bruises Rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston did not participate in Thursday's practice after tweaking his hamstring late in the previous day's session. The injury should not linger into training camp, general manager Brandon Beane said. Advertisement 'He's getting treatment, so should be good to go,' Beane said. 'He'll rehab it and be ready to go for camp.' Hairston spent most of the practice inside the fieldhouse with trainers before walking out the sideline with a compression wrap on his left leg. Pass rusher Joey Bosa continued rehabilitating the calf muscle injury that kept him out of spring practices. 'Joey had done very well,' Beane said. 'Joey was doing a bunch of his own kind of drill work, as far as get off drills, things that a pass rusher would do. So, do you want him to have a setback? Do you want any of these guys? Do you want Max to tweak something yesterday? No, but it's football. It's going to happen. When we get to Rochester it's going to happen. That's why we have a 90-man roster, to make sure the next man up is ready.' Advertisement Defensive tackle Daquan Jones was excused from the final day of minicamp for a personal reason. Center Connor McGovern, safeties Cole Bishop and Damar Hamlin, defensive back Cam Lewis, offensive lineman Alec Anderson, running back Ty Johnson, wide receivers Laviska Shenault and KJ Hamler, linebacker Baylon Spector and recently-signed Shaq Thompson were held out of practices or limited at points during minicamp, but Beane said all should be ready for training camp. Now is your chance to be the next Billy Buffalo Dalton Kincaid coming on strong Buffalo's Super Bowl hopes ended last season with tight end Dalton Kincaid failing to haul in a fourth down heave from Josh Allen in Kansas City. Battling injuries to both knees, the 2023 first-round pick struggled to make the type of impact expected from his draft status. Advertisement This spring, a healthier Kincaid looked more like the dynamic playmaker the Bills believed they selected. He made a one-handed catch at the start of OTAs, and closed out the minicamp catching touchdowns from Allen in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. 'He has been here, he has worked his tail off, and he is one competitive dude,' said Beane, praising Kincaid's work in the weight room to make his body more resilient to injury. 'He's definitely in a stronger position than he was probably at this time a year ago. So yeah, excited for Dalton. You can see the confidence in the knee and the body out there as we went along. More than a cup of Joe 'Buffalo' Joe Andreessen was a fun story last spring. A wide-eyed Western New Yorker practicing with his hometown team, hopeful to earn a place on the practice squad after catching the Bills eye at a rookie camp tryout. Advertisement Buried on the depth chart at the start of training camp, Andreessen ended up making the initial 53-man roster after injuries to veteran players gave him the opportunity to showcase his skills later in the preseason. The former Lancaster High School and University at Buffalo alumnus now appears to be entrenched as Buffalo's backup middle linebacker and a core special teamer. He made several plays during minicamp, including an interception of Allen in the first practice. 'The ball is where you make money in this league,' Andreessen said. 'So taking the ball away is a big key in our room, any way whether it's fumbles or punching the ball out or making plays on the ball in the air. So that's a big emphasis, so kind of keeping it at the front of your mind.' Cook's contract status Beane was pleased to see James Cook report to minicamp after the Pro Bowl running back stayed away from voluntary conditioning workouts and OTA practices. Still seeking a contract extension, Cook is not believed to be threatening a training camp holdout, the GM said. Advertisement 'Our interactions with Jimbo have been good the whole time throughout,' Beane shared. 'I know he wasn't here, so everyone just draws their own conclusions when you're talking about it's voluntary. … Jimbo, he's a pro, he's a competitive dude. He loves to win. Of course, he wants to take care of himself. Everyone does, and we love to see that. … It's good to see him. He looks good out there. You can tell he's been working.' Beane declined to say whether the Bills are close to working out a new agreement with Cook. 'I'll keep that between us as far as that's going,' Beane said. 'But the relationship's very good. I know Jimbo's going to be ready to roll when we get to Rochester.' *** Advertisement Jonah Bronstein joined the WIVB squad in 2022 as a digital sports reporter.
