Losman said his knee feels fine and he should be ready once the Bills (1-4) return from their bye week to host Baltimore on Oct. 21.
But the question is whether he'll be given an opportunity to reclaim the job after rookie Trent Edwards was effective in going 1-1 in two starts, providing a semblance of rhythm to a sputtering offence.
Coach Dick Jauron wants to see how Losman performs in practice. And it didn't matter to Jauron that receiver Lee Evans publicly backed Losman a day earlier.
"I read that," Jauron said. "That's Lee's opinion. He's got a right to his opinion."
On Wednesday, Evans reiterated his belief that Losman deserves a second chance.
"Yeah, it's more principle than anything. I'm not taking anything away from Trent," Evans said. "But J.P. has done a lot to earn his starting position. ... He deserves it. And I don't think it would be warranted to leave him on the bench for the whole season."
