Edwards due back behind center
"The bye week has arrived at a good time for the banged-up Buffalo Bills, who are likely to get quarterback Trent Edwards back in the starting lineup for the next game at Tennessee on Nov. 15. Coach Dick Jauron's bruised and battered team convened at One Bills Drive on Monday, a day after a dreadful 31-10 loss to the Houston Texans. A team source confirmed that Edwards will return to the starting lineup barring any setbacks in his recovery from a concussion that forced him to miss the last two games and most of a third. Backup Ryan Fitzpatrick did win two of those games, but didn't wow anyone with his numbers, going 36 of 70 for 356 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions and a 57.8 ..."

Bills' Edwards expected back after bye week
"Expect to see QB Trent Edwards back on the field for the Bills. And soon. Edwards, who has missed the last two games after suffering a concussion, is expected back when the Bills return from their bye week, a team source tells NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. Edwards has been progressing well and performing better in cognitive testing and should resume full practice soon."
Bills QB Edwards returns to practice after suffering concussion
"Quarterback Trent Edwards was at practice Wednesday, though he only did limited individual reps as he continues to recover from the concussion he suffered against the New York Jets. "I'm good, it's good to be back," Edwards said. "I wasn't here last week and it was kind of lonely at the house, but now I'm feeling better each day and I'm glad to be back." Edwards said his post-concussion headaches have "slowly but surely" started to go away, and that he's not worried. "It's the same as any other injury for me, really," said Edwards, who also suffered a concussion last year at Arizona. "It's an injury and once you get past it there's not any looking back. Any time you look back that's not ..."
Edwards won't play Sunday
"Ryan Fitzpatrick will make his first career home start for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday when the Houston Texans visit Ralph Wilson Stadium. It might not be on an interim basis, either. Despite starting quarterback Trent Edwards being medically cleared to return to practice after suffering a concussion Oct. 18 against the New York Jets, Bills coach Dick Jauron declared him out for Sunday's game, and more importantly would not commit to him as the starter when he is fully recovered. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," is all Jauron had to say about who might start when Edwards is healthy enough to play. Houston Chronicle staff discusses injuries and the Buffalo Bills. Fitzpatrick ..."
Edwards' recovery is slow and steady
"Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards is not progressing as fast in his recovery from a concussion as he did last season. However, Edwards did participate in a limited part of practice Wednesday and expressed optimism that he will recover fully from the head injury he suffered against the New York Jets on Oct. 18. "I feel good," Edwards said. "It's good to be back here. I wasn't here last week and it was kind of lonely at the house. But I feel a lot better. I've gotten better each day, and I'm happy with where things are at." Edwards acknowledged he's not 100 percent healthy. But he would not discuss in detail the nature of headaches he has encountered since the injury. Is he still ..."

Re-run - Bills face QB dilemma
"It's eerie how history repeats itself. I wrote those lines two years ago, after an ugly, 13-3, road win at the Jets. After a 1-4 start, a Bills team crippled by injuries had won two games in a row to lift itself back into playoff contention. Trent Edwards, then a rookie, had injured his wrist early in the game. J.P. Losman had relieved him and thrown an 85-yard touchdown pass to Lee Evans to sew up the win. Losman was set to start the next game, at home, and a full-blown quarterback controversy was about to erupt in Buffalo. Coach Dick Jauron was predictably evasive at the time. He wouldn't say whether Edwards was still his long-term starter, or whether Losman had a chance to win back his ..."
Fitzpatrick to start against Texans
"Coach Dick Jauron got right to the point Monday when discussing the quarterback situation, ruling Trent Edwards out for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. "Trent will not play this week. That's the, as far as I understand it from [head trainer] Bud [Carpenter] and our doctors, that's the proper protocol. That's the conservative approach and the approach we'll take," Jauron said. That means Ryan Fitzpatrick will get his first home start as the Bills look to run their winning streak to three games. Jauron said Edwards is physically active now as he recovers from his second concussion in the span of a year."
Edwards out, Fitzpatrick will start at QB
"Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards stayed home again Friday and was ruled out for Sunday's game at Carolina. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start at quarterback, and Gibran Hamdan will be the backup. The Bills reported Edwards has not had any setbacks in trying to recover from a concussion he suffered in last week's game at East Rutherford, N.J. Asked how Edwards was doing, Bills coach Dick Jauron said: "As far as I know, and I haven't seen him but I have finally texted him — they allowed me to text him — he says he's doing better, and [trainer] Bud [Carpenter] says he's doing better also." Edwards reported to the Bills' offices on Thursday to meet with the team's medical staff. Jauron said on ..."
Bills prepare for Panthers with backup QB Fitzpatrick
"Trent Edwards was absent Wednesday from Bills practice, and the strange thing is that it seems he was hardly missed. Buffalo's struggling starting quarterback was told to stay home and rest as part of the team's protocol for treating concussions, so Edwards was not involved in meetings, workouts or any part of practice. In fact, he's not even allowed to talk on the phone or text. In his stead, Ryan Fitzpatrick ran the first-team offense in practice, and afterward, comments made by several players indicated that it really wouldn't matter to them who starts Sunday when the Bills travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers. "I wouldn't really say there's any difference from my standpoint," ..."
Bills QB Edwards among players missing practice today
"Quarterback Trent Edwards was not in attendance at practice today, advancing speculation that he will not play Sunday when the Buffalo Bills face the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. Edwards suffered a concussion - his second in little more than a year - in last week's game against the New York Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick came off the bench and engineered a 16-13 overtime win that snapped Buffalo's three-game losing streak. Fitzpatrick, 26, would start against the Panthers and was taking the bulk of today's practice repetitions with normal No. 3 QB Gibran Hamdan backing him up. Edwards was scheduled for further testing."
Bills to find out about Fitzpatrick
"The Buffalo Bills have liked quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick since he came out of Harvard University in 2005. It's likely they will get a better indication of whether their initial instincts were correct Sunday when the Bills visit the Carolina Panthers. Fitzpatrick is expected to start in place of Trent Edwards, who suffered a concussion against the New York Jets on Sunday. The Bills have not officially ruled Edwards out. But he is still recovering from a blow to the head and stayed home Wednesday. Fitzpatrick rallied the Bills from a 10-point deficit against the Jets to a 16-13 overtime victory. It was a badly needed triumph after three straight ugly defeats and creates some optimism for ..."
QB situation not a picture of good health
"The question was simple and direct, an invitation for Lee Evans to affirm his faith in Trent Edwards as the Bills' No. 1 quarterback, and to recite the standard wisdom about starters not losing their jobs due to injury. Lee, do you think Ryan (Fitzpatrick) could seize the job if he plays well and the team keeps winning? "We'll see," Evans said Wednesday. "It's kind of hard to speculate on it right now. We just hope that Trent gets back healthy, gets himself together and we'll move forward with that situation." Not what you'd call a rousing vote of confidence. Two years ago, if you recall, Evans declared his undying support for J.P. Losman when Losman got hurt and Edwards took over. ..."

Buffalo Bills quiet on status of Edwards
"The status of Bills quarterback Trent Edwards remained status quo on Monday, meaning his condition will not be updated publicly until at least Wednesday. Coach Dick Jauron said Edwards was able to fly back from New York with the team Sunday night, but he had no more details on the concussion Edwards suffered in the second quarter of Buffalo's 16-13 victory over the Jets. "We'll take that day to day and see how he comes out of this thing," Jauron said. Edwards was replaced by backup Ryan Fitzpatrick, who helped lead Buffalo back from a 13-3 halftime deficit. Fitzpatrick completed only 10 of 25 passes for 116 yards on a windy day at the Meadowlands, but one was a perfectly thrown slant to ..."
Edwards' status uncertain for Panthers
"Quarterback Trent Edwards' second concussion of his NFL career will require further evaluation, coach Dick Jauron said today. "Anybody that's injured, you're really concerned for him and Trent's no different," Jauron said. "We'll take that day to day and just see how he comes out of this thing." Jauron said Edwards was able to fly home with the team after Sunday's game against the Jets, but had yet to see the quarterback today, so he was not able to say how he was feeling. Asked if Edwards would be able to play Sunday against Carolina, Jauron said: "I'm hopeful he's healthy." Edwards suffered his first concussion about a year ago in an Oct. 5, 2008 game at Arizona. Rookie tight end Shawn ..."
Browns defensive coordinator takes shot at Edwards
"Just when it looked like Sunday's game between the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns was lacking any pizazz, Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan added some spice to the matchup by taking a swipe at Bills quarterback Trent Edwards. In an interview with the Cleveland media on Friday, Ryan took a page from his trash-talking twin brother, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, by saying this about Edwards: "I don't think that's [Cincinnati Bengals quarterback] Carson Palmer back there by any stretch." When asked if he meant to say that Edwards isn't as good as Palmer, Ryan answered, "Absolutely. He's not. Not too many quarterbacks are. The guy can run and do some things, but we've played Brett ..."
Rob Ryan calls out Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards
"They laugh alike, they walk alike, at times they even talk smack alike. Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan joined his twin brother Rex Ryan -- the Jets head coach -- in calling out a member of the Buffalo Bills, this week's opponent. For Rex, it was Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder. For Rob, it was Bills quarterback Trent Edwards, who beat Ryan's Raiders, 24-23, last season with a sensational fourth quarter against his defense. During his weekly news conference on Friday, Ryan was asked a question about the Bills' offense, and after praising running back Marshawn Lynch and their All-Pro receivers, he said of Edwards unsolicited, "I don't think that's [Bengals quarterback] Carson ..."
Edwards needs to look downfield - and at other QBs
"Trent Edwards seemed surprised, almost flustered, when the media asked him questions about other NFL quarterbacks Wednesday. Hard as it is to imagine, he hadn't even seen a replay of Brett Favre's amazing last-second throw to Greg Lewis to beat the Niners. "You guys are asking me these football-related questions," Edwards said. "I didn't see that game, either. I didn't even see highlights. I didn't watch any of it. I'm sorry." Well, it's too bad Edwards didn't see the Favre play. He might have learned something about throwing the ball down the field in a pinch. As you know, I'm no great Favre fan. I thought he should have stayed retired. The teary-eyed farewells and drawn-out returns have ..."
Dolphins' Cameron Wake wreaks havoc on Bills
"Momentum and blocking had washed pass rusher Cameron Wake past Buffalo quarterback Trent Edwards. Shark-like, Wake swam back toward Edwards, dropped him and caused a fumble. It mattered not that Buffalo recovered the ball. Four years after failing to make it even to training camp as a rookie free agent with the Giants, three years after his second season out of football, and two weeks after being deemed unworthy of the Dolphins' game roster, Wake had his first NFL sack. ``That's one you used to lay in bed, lay on your back and dream about,'' Wake said. ``Come around the corner, the quarterback's setting up, you just knock him down. It's something that I've been playing in my mind for ..."

Bills' red zone defense is key to slowing Saints
"New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has passed for 300 yards or more 19 times in his last 38 games. The number of 300-yard passing performances by the Buffalo Bills in the last 38 games? Zero. Such is the severe task facing the Bills today when they meet the hottest quarterback on the planet at Ralph Wilson Stadium. "I don't know how many points underdogs we are, we don't care about that," said Bills safety Donte Whitner. "We understand that we have a football game to play, and games are not played on paper." On paper, the Bills' offense can't match the Saints. The Bills, averaging 28.5 points and 357 yards, are six-point underdogs to the Saints, averaging 46.5 points and 468 yards. ..."
When it came time to pop, Bills' Edwards cooked up a dud
"In the first few days after the Bills signed Terrell Owens last March, the team sold more than 5,000 season tickets. A lot of exuberant football fans were anticipating an autumn blockbuster, an offensive extravaganza. T.O. even reminded everyone to bring the popcorn. I don't imagine Sunday's show was what the customers had in mind. Most people expected to see a shootout against the Saints. Win or lose, you figured it would be high entertainment. Instead, the Bills responded with an offensive dud that rivaled some of the worst games of the Drew Bledsoe era. After the unbeaten Saints marched out of town with a 27-7 victory, some of the optimists who plunked down their credit cards after the ..."
Buffalo Bills QB Edwards takes loss hard
"All around him in a silent, heartbroken locker room, Trent Edwards' teammates were shedding their equipment and traipsing into the shower to wash away the stench of a truly horrific loss to the New England Patriots Monday night. Edwards couldn't bring himself to do it. He sat there on the stool in front of his stall, still fully padded sans his helmet, and just stared blankly at nothing, as if he was trying to conjure up a scenario in his mind that would alter the result of Buffalo's 25-24 defeat at Gillette Stadium. Finally, after some of the Bills had already headed for the buses that would transport them to the Providence airport for the short but miserable flight home, Edwards removed ..."
Bills' Edwards starting big year
"The answer is the same wherever you go in the Buffalo Bills' locker room. What stands out about Trent Edwards heading into his third NFL season? "Confidence," said offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. "Confidence, for one," said receiver Lee Evans. "What you see now is just more confidence." It is a make-or-break year for Edwards. Either his career takes a step forward this season or he loses his hold on one of the 32 precious starting quarterback gigs in the NFL. On the eve of Monday's season opener in New England, Edwards has reason to believe he's in a position to succeed. In terms of support, the addition of receiver Terrell Owens gives him more quality weapons than ever before. In ..."
Edwards endorses change in coordinators
"Trent Edwards was surprised by the firing of offensive coordinator Turk Schonert, but the Buffalo Bills' quarterback was far from being upset about it. There were rumors of some friction between Edwards and Schonert, but Edwards said the bigger issue was the state of the offense. He revealed Sunday that he and other players took their concerns to head coach Dick Jauron. "We had voiced some things with what direction it was going and where it needed to go, and Coach Jauron made the decision on how he felt and what he felt the offense needed best," Edwards said after practice Sunday. "And that's the decision he made and that's something he decided and that's something I need to respect." ..."
Edwards gets a passing grade from Jaws
"Former NFL star quarterback Ron Jaworski thinks Trent Edwards has what it takes to be the kind of winning quarterback the Buffalo Bills seek. Jaworski, ESPN's Monday Night Football analyst, doesn't give Edwards an unconditional endorsement. But he's in the corner of the Bills' third-year signal caller and thinks the Bills are doing the right thing in putting the offense in Edwards' hands. "I think he's going to be a tremendous NFL quarterback," Jaworski said Monday at the Jim Kelly Celebrity Classic golf tournament in Batavia. "I think he's got the skill set that projects very well for this league. It's a matter of being consistent. He's had some outstanding games, he's had some poor ..."
Edwards, Evans the Centre of attention at Jays game
"Hard to tell who was the main attraction Thursday in the Rogers Centre. Was it Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees or Trent Edwards, Lee Evans and the Buffalo Bills? The Bills' duo was all around the ballpark during the game and got a big thrill by taking batting practice three hours before the first pitch. Edwards belted a pair of home runs into the left-field seats and burst out of the cage celebrating them. Evans looked like, well, a football player as he hit a few ground balls to the outfield and not much more. "That's tough. I got tired with just about 10 swings in there," a smiling Edwards said. "I can't imagine doing that every day. I got some groin issues right ..."
Bills coordinator Schonert enthused by Edward's growth
"Don’t underestimate the benefit Trent Edwards will get from experience in his second full year as starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. That was a point emphasized by Bills offensive coordinator Turk Schonert on Friday in his first comments of the offseason. “A lot happened to him that he’s going to learn from,” Schonert said. “The great thing about Trent is something happens to him one time, and he’s going to learn from it. He doesn’t make the same mistake most of the time. So his level of play is going to get better just from what he experienced, what defenses threw at him.” Schonert echoed the strong support of Edwards expressed Thursday by Bills head coach Dick Jauron. The Bills’ ..."
Edwards’ shoulder feels great
"Trent Edwards said his shoulder is fine and fans should blame the players more than Dick Jauron for the Buffalo Bills’ struggles in 2008. Edwards got good news on two fronts in the wake of the Bills’ 7-9 finish. He had several doctors look at his passing shoulder, and said they found nothing unusual about late-season soreness he felt. He also was thrilled the team retained head coach Dick Jauron. “The shoulder is great,” said Edwards on Friday on a visit to the Super Bowl XLIII headquarters. “I’ve had a lot of rest and recovery. That’s the way my entire body is. It will heal on its own. The swelling has subsided and it’s fine. It was the normal wear and tear from the season. “There was ..."
Edwards won’t need surgery
"Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards does not need offseason surgery on his shoulder, league and team sources have told The News. Edwards saw several doctors after the Bills’ season ended to get an evaluation on his shoulder, which caused him some soreness later in the season. Those evaluations determined that the shoulder is not a serious problem. The Bills stated they sent Edwards for a routine magnetic resonance imaging test on his shoulder during his yearend physical. He did not miss any playing time as a result of the soreness during the season."
Edwards shoulders a burden
"Trent Edwards is being sent for an MRI on his right shoulder and the Bills are calling it “routine.” I guess you could call it routine, considering that Buffalo’s quarterback has a history of shoulder problems going all the way back to his early days at Stanford. In 2003, as a Cardinal redshirt freshman, Edwards missed two games and was limited in several others with a right shoulder contusion. In 2004, he left a game with a right shoulder sprain, then re-injured it later in the year and missed two games. Edwards hurt the shoulder again during his junior year. He re-injured it in the finale against Notre Dame and had to leave the game. By early February, the shoulder hadn’t healed. Edwards ..."
Edwards checks out shoulder
"Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards is seeking out medical opinions to determine how to treat soreness in his throwing shoulder. The Bills said Tuesday they sent Edwards for a routine magnetic resonance imaging test on the right shoulder during his year-end physical because he had complained of soreness in it. It is not considered a serious problem, but further tests will determine if any surgery is necessary. Edwards and the team want to be sure there is no condition that could hinder his offseason conditioning and workouts. “He did not miss any playing time and there was no lack of strength in his shoulder due to the soreness,” according to a statement released by the team. “He has ..."
Bills QB Edwards shows toughness in win
"If anyone in Bills Nation saw that victorious performance coming from Buffalo on Sunday in Denver, pat yourself on the back, because you most certainly were in the minority. There were so many reasons to believe that the Bills - with nothing to play for in terms of the playoff race - were going to fly out West and merely go through the motions, especially on a day that only an ice fisherman could appreciate. And after 15 minutes, those fears were fully realized as the Bills couldn't have looked worse, or been more outplayed in falling behind 10-0. But those of you who didn't flick the TV off to get back to more productive duties such as wrapping Christmas presents or shoveling the driveway ..."

Edwards needs to stay grounded, avoid getting into a shootout
"1. Edwards returns. After watching two mediocre performances by J. P. Losman, the Bills are relieved QB Trent Edwards, right, has recovered from his strained groin and will start today. Perhaps Edwards can recharge a passing game that has sputtered. The Bills have only one game with more than 200 net yards passing over the last six games. Today is an opportunity to break out as Denver ranks 27th in passing yards allowed. The Broncos have missed all-star CB Champ Bailey, who may return after missing seven games with a groin injury. He would take pressure off fellow CBs Dre’ Bly and rookie Josh Bell. The Broncos don’t get much of a pass rush, but Bailey’s possible return would allow them to ..."
Edwards returning to Bills lineup
"Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards lent his voice to the cause of coach Dick Jauron on Wednesday. “I sent a text message to him earlier this week that said I’ve never respected a person more than I do the coach that I have,” Edwards said. “I love him to death. I love coming to work for him every day. I’m just happy that these two years I’ve been in the league I’ve been able to have a boss like that.” Edwards will get the chance to lend his arm to Jauron’s cause this week. The Bills’ second-year quarterback was back on the field practicing after missing the past 2z games with a strained groin muscle. Edwards is expected to start Sunday when the Bills visit the Denver Broncos. The ..."
Edwards expected back for Bills
"Trent Edwards was back on the practice field this afternoon and coach Dick Jauron believes he will be available to start Sunday's game in Denver against the Broncos. "Today was his first day back, he moved pretty well,'' said Jauron. "We were out on the field a little yesterday and he moved fairly well. He says he feels good and we'll just see how it progresses through the week. I thought he handled things fairly well today.'' Jauron said that if Edwards does start for the first time since the San Francisco game, Gibran Hamdan will be his backup, not J.P. Losman. "We're hopeful that Trent will be the guy and that's as far as it would go, but if it got to the two, we'd put Gibran on the ..."
Edwards likely to sit; Schobel looks done
"It's not looking good for Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards this week, and the season of defensive end Aaron Schobel appears likely to come to an end soon. Edwards’ strained groin prevented him from practicing Wednesday as the Bills began preparation for Sunday’s game in New York against the Jets. Barring a drastic improvement in the injury and a full participation in today’s workout by Edwards, it appears backup J. P. Losman will make his second straight start for the Bills against an AFC East rival. Meanwhile, Schobel appears headed for the injured reserve list due to the ligament injury in his foot that has kept him off the field the past eight games. Bills coach Dick Jauron ..."
Bills QB Edwards misses practice
"Trent Edwards did not participate in practice this afternoon as the Bills began preparing for their game in New York against the Jets, and J.P. Losman took all of the first-team reps. "He is still sore," coach Dick Jauron said of Edwards. "He worked some on the side with the trainers, he had a little more movement than last week, but he's still sore.'' If Edwards doesn't get back to work tomorrow, and that seems unlikely, Losman will start his second game in a row when the Bills try to derail their AFC East rival's playoff hopes. "You want your starting quarterback out there getting their reps, particularly if he's not a veteran player," Jauron said. "Sometimes a guy who has played a long ..."
Edwards told to learn from errors
"Buffalo Bills quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt recently showed Trent Edwards some video of bad interceptions thrown by San Diego’s Philip Rivers and the New York Giants’ Eli Manning. The message: Growing pains are a fact of life for NFL quarterbacks. “You’re going to have bad days,” Van Pelt said. “The thing is, learn from it. Grow from it. Put it behind you and have a short memory.” Edwards’ struggles over most of the past six games are part of the reason the Bills find themselves 6-6 entering this week’s game against the Miami Dolphins. In the first six games of the season, Edwards completed 70 percent of his passes with five touchdowns, two interceptions and a passer rating of 98.8. In ..."
Bills QB Edwards sits out practice; Losman takes all reps
"Trent Edwards did not participate in practice this afternoon inside the Bills' fieldhouse and backup J.P. Losman took all of the reps. If Edwards is still sidelined by the groin injury he suffered Sunday against San Francisco when practice resumes Thursday, it seems likely that Losman will get the start when the Bills play host to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. "He was pretty sore, but it's better than it was after the game, better than it was yesterday, so I would say there was progress," coach Dick Jauron said of Edwards' injury. "We'll go day to day and it will probably go right up to the game." However, if Edwards is unable to practice Thursday, Losman ..."
Why stay committed to Edwards?
"In case you didn’t hear, J. P. Losman is down to his final month with the Buffalo Bills. In the old days, saying goodbye to a former first-round pick would be grounds for intense scrutiny of the scouting department. These days, it’s viewed as another welcome step removed from the Tom Donahoe era. Not that anybody cares, either, considering their other issues. Less than a month after the playoffs looked like a gimme, the Bills are in utter disarray. The passing game is a mess, the play calling atrocious, game management laughable, leadership invisible. The proverbial firing squad has assembled along One Bills Drive, waiting for Dick Jauron. Oh, and the Bills play a home game on the road ..."
Bills’ QB unknown as they head north of the border
"Even with a strained groin that sidelined him for the second half of Sunday’s loss to San Francisco, Buffalo quarterback Trent Edwards‘ intent is to play Sunday’s game in Toronto vs. Miami. Whether he will be able to do that is entirely different question. It’s a situation that likely will go all the way up to game day, with the Bills uncertain of which quarterback to start and not likely to make a decision until Sunday. But if it is Edwards, he clearly will be limited. The groin strain is significant enough that it will require a hefty amount of rehab this week and even then, there are no assurance he will be able to play."
Will Edwards play Sunday for Buffalo Bills?
"There wasn't a whole lot of activity in the Buffalo Bills locker room on Monday. During the 45-minute period when reporters are allowed to be in there, a few players milled about, but the vast majority of the team was nowhere to be found, and it was quite understandable. After all, what was there to talk about on the heels of such a desultory performance as the one the Bills turned in during their 10-3 loss to San Francisco on Sunday? This is a franchise that has made a habit of losing critical games in inexplicable ways, and the sorry effort that was put forth against a weak 49ers team that had far less to play for than the Bills was simply inexcusable. So almost every starter - with the ..."
Edwards is ‘very sore’ but may play in Toronto
"Trent Edwards was still walking around with a sore groin Monday, but the Buffalo Bills didn’t believe the injury was serious enough to rule him out for this Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Bills coach Dick Jauron expected his starting to quarterback to undergo more examinations and treatment this week before receiving an update on his availability for the game in Toronto. Edwards, who was unavailable for comment, was being evaluated on a daily basis and might practice Wednesday. “He’s sore,” Jauron said. “They’ll do some tests and whatever they do in the training room.
