Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix understands that the team he now runs has needs at a number of positions. But when it came time to execute the ninth overall pick in the first round Thursday night, Nix could not ignore what he believes to be the most pressing issue for the Bills. Buffalo Bills starting defensive tackle Marcus Stroud has been ruled out because of a knee injury, meaning the NFL’s worst run defense could be without both starting defensive tackles against Jacksonville this weekend. The Bills (3-6) have only two other defensive tackles on their roster — reserves Spencer Johnson and John McCargo. Their defense is allowing an NFL-worst 173 yards rushing this season. Buffalo prepares to face the run-happy Jaguars led by Maurice Jones-Drew, who’s tied for fourth in the league with 860 yards rushing and has scored seven of his 12 touchdowns in the past four games. Buffalo Bills Sports Memorabilia Tony Dungy says Michael Vick could potentially wind up in Buffalo, which he says previously discussed signing the quarterback. The Eagles signed Vick to a $1.6 million contract for 2009, with a team option for the second year at $5.2 million. But he has played sparingly. “I told Michael to just worry about this year,” Dungy said. “It’s technically up to Philadelphia. If they want him back, he has to stay there. If they don’t, there are some teams looking for quarterbacks: Cleveland, St. Louis and Washington. Atlanta Falcons Sports Memorabilia
The Buffalo Bills’ logjam at wide receiver will soon get a little more crowded. Hardy has been practicing fully since Oct. 21. “James has done a real nice job,” Bills coach Dick Jauron said this week. “We have that 21-day window, and my understanding is that it runs through next Wednesday. So we’ll keep looking at it and look at our roster and see what we can do and what we think at that point. We’ll run it right up to that time.” Buffalo Bills Sports Memorabilia The status of Bills quarterback Trent Edwards remained status quo on Monday, meaning his condition will not be updated publicly until at least Wednesday. Edwards was replaced by backup Ryan Fitzpatrick, who helped lead Buffalo back from a 13-3 halftime deficit. Buffalo Bills Sports Memorabilia Bills quarterback Trent Edwards requires further evaluation after sustaining the second concussion of his NFL career. The starter’s status is uncertain for the game at Carolina this weekend. Bills players are off until Wednesday. Edwards also sustained a concussion in a loss at Arizona on Oct. 5.
