After saying that T.Spikes was shooting to be ready to play the Bills home opener against the Jets, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle corrected that its podcast on the opening of training camp as well as in the article about McCargo being on the field for Friday afternoon's practice:
"....Spikes, who doesn't expect to play in any preseason games, is shooting to be ready for the regular season opener on Sept. 10 at New England, not the home opener two weeks later against the New York Jets, a more conservative goal that was once mentioned...."

Apparently the D & C sports staff that has been covering the Bills was not paying attention to what TKO has been saying to the media for the past month when it initially and erroneously reported that he was looking to be ready for the home opener rather than the season opener because Spikes has been very explicit recently about how he has been visualizing himself being in the lockerroom in New England before the season opener, getting ready to go out on the field.
That should set to rest any concerns about who the Bills will start at WLB before TKO's return during the regular season. Barring any set-backs--and the article details how the Bills intend to take it slow with Spikes in TC and the preseason in order to avoid that--the Bills starting WLB on opening day should be T.Spikes.
