[The last buffalo fan]

this is the ****ing red cross, not the Buffalo Bills........I miss you, ****ing Dick! :mad:

[YardRat]

I'll be more interested to see what the list looks like for the second and third games.

[Dr. Pepper]

dumb thread sorry... poz bell wood and green are the only ones worth mentioning, and 3 of the 4 were recovering from previous injuries coming into camp...

[Philagape]

dumb thread sorry... poz bell wood and green are the only ones worth mentioning, and 3 of the 4 were recovering from previous injuries coming into camp...

No it isn't.
Some of us care about more than the "name" players.

[Dr. Pepper]

sorry i forgot you're a huge ryan manalac fan....

and andre ramsy was going to take the league by storm this year too, if not for that pesky injury.

[elltrain22]

this is gonna be a very long year...

[Romes]

I don't have a problem with this.

a) some of these guys are healthy enough to be playing if it was a regular season game
b) some of these guys are coming off pre-existing injuries
c) some of these guys are scrubs that won't make the team
d) most importantly...this is football weed out the ones that can't stay healthy

[NextbillsQB]

Im watching the other games and its same story everywhere

[Scumbag College]

They're going to hold guys out for precautionary reasons in the preseason. You think a starting offensive tackle in the NFL is going to miss a regular season game for a "muscle tweak?"

[BertSquirtgum]

dumb thread sorry... poz bell wood and green are the only ones worth mentioning, and 3 of the 4 were recovering from previous injuries coming into camp...

this post is poop

[ServoBillieves]

Nothing to worry about. Poz, Green and Schou will play Game 1 barring catastrophy, Wood is precautionary. There's no need to risk injury to these guys. The preseason is for young guys to show what they can do, and also to see how your team can click.

Worried about game 1, not fake game 1.

[zone]

It is much better this way, these guys are not used to hitting this early, so instead of everyone going down week one we get all the bumps and bruises out of the way early. Guys play banged up all season.

Actually, there is a reason to risk injury: practice in the new system. It's a balance between risking injury and risking being unprepared. I don't know if they are striking the right balance or not, but this team needs all the practice it can get.

[DraftBoy]

Well clearly conditioning is to blame!

[Jan Reimers]

Definitely.

[madness]

Im watching the other games and its same story everywhere

Players on other teams get hurt playing football? Here I thought it was just a Bills thing.

[Pinkerton Security]

Guys, it happens every preseason...if you're even remotely dinged up, there's no way they're gonna put you out there.

[Night Train]

Im watching the other games and its same story everywhere
Impossible. :rolleyes:

Rehab and holding out players early for minor tweeks is the norm.

[Pinkerton Security]

Definitely.

:busted:

[DraftBoy]

I think more milk will help prevent these injuries.

[Danny Duberstein]

Football is a 100% injury sport. Everybody gets hurt, the only questions are

How bad
How often
How do they react and recover

The healthiest teams make it. But none are completely healthy.

Now up to 19 and going strong..just wait until after thursday..

David Nelson was taken off the field on a cart after injuring his ankle in practice on Tuesday. Chan Gailey said it looks like a serious injury. http://billsdaily.com/images/updated.gif 8/17

http://billsdaily.com/images/blueball.gif Jairus Byrd was not present at practice on Tuesday. All Chan Gailey would say is that it was a physical complication but it isn't a serious thing and should be resolved quickly. http://billsdaily.com/images/updated.gif 8/17

http://billsdaily.com/images/blueball.gif Fred Jackson left the game against Washington after the first series with a broken fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand. Chan Gailey said he'll miss the rest of the preseason and he is expected to be out from 4-6 weeks. He is shooting to return in time for the opener and the fact that it is the left hand may shorten the time he is off the field. http://billsdaily.com/images/updated.gif 8/16

http://billsdaily.com/images/blueball.gif Marshawn Lynch suffered a sprained ankle against Washington and he is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. Chan Gailey doesn't think he'll be out that long and hopes to get him back for the preseason finale. http://billsdaily.com/images/updated.gif 8/16

http://billsdaily.com/images/blueball.gif Alex Carrington was banged up in the second half and slow to get up. He did seem to be ok when he walked off the field. They expect to have him back this week. He did not practice on Monday. http://billsdaily.com/images/updated.gif 8/16

Carrington missed about 2 practices total and was back on the field Tuesday. Schouman was practicing as well. Manalac, if he's still on the team, will go on IR. Wouldn't have made the team anyway. Ramsey, Green, and Sp. Johnson are back practicing. Ellison, Poz, Wood, and Bell will all play some on Thursday.

Why do you have people on here who are practicing again?

Technically, they're included on the injury report, but a good number of them are either practicing again now, or will be back soon.

Guys who we should be concerned about: Byrd, Batten, Wang, Easley, Jackson. Everyone else is either partially back, fully back, or should return soon. And everyone but Easley should return within 1-2 months.
