"With a 3-5 record and a roster riddled with injuries, the Buffalo Bills' bye week couldn't have come at a better time.

After four days of no practices, Bills players returned to work Monday, saying they are better rested and ready to face whatever awaits them in the second half of this season than they were the first half.

"We have to evaluate ourselves in the first eight and then we have to carry on into the second half," safety Donte Whitner said. "You don't let the same mistakes that beat us in the first half beat us in the second half.

"And don't compound the mistakes. Don't add another one. You want to continue doing what you're doing well, but you want to get better in the things you're not doing so well."

One of the big questions heading into the second half of the season is, who starts at quarterback? Trent Edwards proclaimed that he is ready to return to the lineup after being out almost a month with a concussion. He expects to get medical clearance to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but has yet to be informed if he'll be the starter.

Head coach Dick Jauron did not address the media Monday, so we won't know until Wednesday's practice if Edwards or Ryan Fitzpatrick will be under center.

"That hasn't been decided yet, and I haven't necessarily met with all the doctors yet," Edwards said. "I'm still kind of feeling good, getting better each day and today I felt great."

It will take more than Edwards coming back to cure what has been ailing the Bills' offense."
