John Warrow, of the Associated Press, reports Buffalo Bills LB Takeo Spikes (Achilles') said he will not play in Buffalo's preseason opener at Carolina Saturday, Aug. 12. Spikes is taking his comeback gradually after missing the final 13 games of last season with a torn right Achilles' tendon.



Is he trying to come back for the opening game or will it be later in the season?

Sorry if it has already been covered.

I thought he was skipping the preseasons as a precaution and would be ready for opening day.

Thats what we're hoping to see.

I dont care when he comes back so long as hes healthy and ready when he does.

That's basically what TKO has said.

I hope he's ready by the opening game. The defense needs his playmaking ability.

[Don't Panic]

He doesn't need the preseason... so long as he's staying fit, he'll be good to go if he's ready by September 10th. It would be nice to get him out there, but definitely not mandatory.
