It has Levitre as the C on BB.com and Bell and Hairston at LT. Are they both back?

I am worried about whoever takes Levitre's spot at LG now that he had to move to Center.

Re: Are Bell and Hairston back?
I'm not too worried about LG. I thought Rinehart did a good job of filling in for Urbik. You can't really replace what Wood brings at center, but I think our interior will be ok. It will be nice to have an actual OT playing OT again too.

Mixed bag on O-line
Posted by Chris Brown on November 16, 2011 – 2:32 pm
The offensive line was getting shuffled around at Wednesday’s practice due to an unexpected absence.
Though preparations for Eric Wood were made with Andy Levitre in the pivot, Erik Pears was a surprise non-participant. Fortunately Demetrius Bell was back practicing along with Chris Hairston. For most of the media viewing portion of practice Hairston lined up at left tackle. Bell got work at left and right tackle. And Kraig Urbik saw a lot of work at right tackle during individual positions drills with Colin Brown lined up next to him at right guard.
Hopefully what is keeping Pears sidelined is nothing significant, otherwise the line could have a different player at every line position from opening day.

Re: Are Bell and Hairston back?
Day 1 goes well for Bell

OT Demetrius Bell was back practicing for the first time since Week 4 and by his account fared well his first day back in pads.
“It went pretty good,” Bell told Buffalobills.com. “It’s been too long. What was it? Six weeks? Way too long.”
Bell took reps at both left and right tackle as he tries to shake the rust off from a month and a half absence from the practice and game settings.
“Just trying to get an extra rep in here and there wherever I can,” he said.
Head coach Chan Gailey said he would consider getting Bell back in the starting lineup this week, but after such a long layoff indicated that he’d be leaning in favor of Hairston who has practiced fully each of the past two weeks to man left tackle.

Who knows with Bell.
Need to draft an o-tackle again early.
If the Bills think Hairston is their long term answer at LT, which is very likely BTW, that position is filled. And the Bills appear to be fine with Pears on the other side. If they lock up Pears long term prior to the end of the season I'd expect OT to become a mid to late round possibility.
And no I still think Hairston is best suited to play RT but I don't make the decisions.
