It wouldn't surprise me, as a high ankle sprain kept Cowart out for over a month...

My best guess would be he MIGHT be ready by Week 4. GW tends to downplay injuries and this is more severe than they are letting on...

Well that's the bad news. The good news is that John Abraham will most likely miss the opener as well. So it's basically a wash. I'm guessing they'll both be ready by Week 2.

Now, do they go with Carman, or do they reshuffle TT to LT?

I would not be surprised in Jennings misses the first couple of games...

time to make the switch...put Williams at LT...let Os play T when healthy...

If we leave a backup to play LT we might hear the announcer say: Now starting at QB for the Buffalo Bills #10 AVP

injuries already. ugh.

carman sucks. I hope this isn't one of those nagging injuries that plagues jennings all year.

With Jennings out:

LT-Marcus Price (he's the guy they signed to be top backup at
both tackle spots)
LG-Ruben Brown
C-Trey Teague (they're trying to teach him to play center,
switching him back to LT will just screw him up)
RG-Marquez Sullivan
RT-Mike Williams

Conaty will be behind Teague at Center, Ostroski backs up the two guards and Farris backs up the tackles. Yeah, Farris isn't my favorite tackle either, but supposedly he's healthier than last year and looks a little better than he did a year ago. Hopefully he won't have to come in.

I'm of the opinion that switching everybody around in Jennengs' absence, then switching them all back again after Jennings comes back is just going to mess up the chemistry they are trying to build on the line a lot more than just having the guy they signed to sub the position go in and hold it down until Jennings comes back.

BTW, I just went to Billsdaily to see what they said. They report that Shout reported that he was on critches, and Shout was speculating the might not be ready for the opener.

Not that Jennings doesn't have a serious sprain, but I like my news to be a little harder than that.
