Good news, the Bills are healthy, the Jets are not.
The Bills have a completely healthy 53-man roster heading into the opener. Third-string running back Sammy Morris has practiced the past two days after missing a day with an ankle injury. The Bills open at home against the Jets.
Jets coach Herman Edwards said Friday that John Abraham will start at defensive end in the season opener against the Bills. He had been listed as probable with a knee injury, and there was a lot of thought that he would only be able to play about 50 percent of the game. The Jets will be without defensive tackle Larry Webster (knee) and cornerback Jamie Henderson (shoulder). There will be some juggling at the back of the roster. Deep-snapping tight end James Dearth injured an Achilles tendon Thursday, so offensive lineman Dennis O'Sullivan will be snapping for the first time in a regular-season game. Rookie Chris Baker will take over as the backup tight end. The Jets also will be without rookie tackle Chris Smith who is out two-to-four weeks with a sprained knee.
