BILLS HAVE UNTIL SATURDAY ON PETERS: Dick Jauron and his coaching staff have until Saturday at 4pm to decide whether or not to activate Jason Peters for this Sunday's game at Jacksonville. That's the league deadline each week for activating a player for a Sunday game.
Jauron confirmed that Peters is in excellent physical shape, but is not yet in football shape due to his absence from practice the past 43 or so days.
That being said I'd tend to think that as soon as they feel he's remotely close to executing protections and calls correctly he's going to dress.
In fact it wouldn't surprise me if he dresses on Sunday, but doesn't start. That way in the event of an injury you have the best possible sub on the planet at tackle.
Jauron said they would consider Peters for part-time duty Sunday.
“We’ll probably consider everything as we move down the road," said Jauron. "But as you’re well aware the numbers on Sunday are so hard to deal with. It’s not a lot of guys so you have to be real careful because you end up short changing yourself somewhere and unfortunately it usually comes from special teams and that’s not a good thing.”
