Well, that's a relief.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

I thought he was done the way he was holding his arm

[BidsJr]

Surviving the collar bone fracture was the big victory in this.

[ServoBillieves]

Great to know he's only slightly hurt. Hope he makes a quick recovery.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Hopefully the MRI doesn't show any major issues tomorrow. 1-2 weeks is manageable. The way he went down and grabbed his arm, I thought at least 8-10 weeks.

[Skooby]

Fingers crossed.

[DynaPaul]

Only our team could have 2 of the best running backs in the league and BOTH of them are hurt! Good lord.

Bills RB C.J. Spiller is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left shoulder Monday, however his collarbone is intact and doctors do not believe he will be sidelined much beyond next week. The belief is he sprained a shoulder joint.

Schefter just posted this. Great, great news. Seriously better than what I thought was best case.

I was just about to post this. Spiller thinks he'll be back for the Pats game.

My fantasy football team laments the loss of CJ Spiller.

Sex in the City, RIP

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Would be great to have him for the Pats game.

The next two weeks are the Patriots and 49ers.

According to WGR550 this morning, Spiller suffered an Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain. Now, according to Wolters Kluwer health, there are several degrees of this type of sprain. Depending on severity, he could be back within a few weeks, to several. If it turns out to require surgery, it could end his season. Hopefully it's a type I sprain, we need him back pronto. JMO

Yeah, if I could pick any two weeks on the sched for the team to be healthy, it would be these two.The good news is that they will both be back soon. The bad news is that it is the worst possible time to lose them.

I feel bad for the youngster. Shoulder injuries make it hard to find a comfortable sleeping position. And everybody tosses and turns throughout the night. I just hope he doesn't end up getting a suspension for taking some OTC product that contains something on the NFL no-no list. Former B'gals guard Bobbie Williams (couldn't ask for a more decent, erudite man) got 4 games that way. Other players, too.

The SanFran game doesn't really matter. They're good and we're not expected to win. But the NE game is so huge, a loss puts us behind the Jets and Pats and kills a lot of potential tie breakers.

[Sammy Avalon]

This is good news. I was afraid he was going on IR the worst.

BREAKING NEWS: Spiller sprained A/C joint. 1-2 week injury. https://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/s...73714153877504 (https://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/statuses/250273714153877504)

[ServoBillieves]

I've seen 4 different severe implications in this thread... so he's either back this week, back in 1-2, or he has whatever the hell EBF said and is done for multiple weeks or done for the season with surgery?

I enjoy the optimism of him not being done for the season, but which one do we believe or who is the most trusted source?

[Fixxxer]

I guess there is a God.

that doesn't sound good at all

[BertSquirtgum]

They just said 1 maybe two weeks that CJ will be out on NFL live. Sprained AC joint. Thank you Jesus. I think Gailey will sit him this week just to be safe. Even if Spiller thinks he's ok to play.

If CJ can play this week at all you get him in there because the pats at 1-3 just will not go to the playoffs and I can laugh. I don't just want to beat them, I want to rout them. I want to win in such a way that they implode the rest of the season. I want Brady and Belichick to be demoralized.

Even with both healthy, do you really think we will be able to beat a pissed off and hungry NE and then be victorious in a cross country trek to SF? I had both of these games as auto-loss before the season starts so this is actually a good time to get some injuries out of the way, granted they stay away from here on out.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to beat these two teams, or at least win one of them, but lets be honest. Our offense looked pretty inept without Spiller.

I see your points. NE and SF are probably festering like two wounded grizzly bears.

I would never count out the Pats at 1-3. They have a couple tough home games in December against Houston and SF, but their schedule is pretty soft otherwise. And no one else in the AFC East looks good enough to run away with the division.

SF will take it out on the Jets.

Yes

It's the NFL. Every game matters.

We lost to the Jets. They are 2-0 in the division and have the division and head-to-head tiebreakers on us. We have to make up ground. That means winning some games that we are not supposed to win.

I don't think it's likely that we win either game, even with Spiller.

But, we dug ourselves in a hole in week 1 and we are going to have to upset someone to make it happen. I'd rather have Spiller and/or Jackson and put our best foot forward, and hope for the best. It's not much of a chance, but it's our only chance.

CJ
Spiller not in a sling, says he has full range of motion in his shoulder.
Swelling and pain an issue. Says he still might play Sunday.


God I hope they don't allow him to do that. At his statue, I'd sit him or play sparingly at Arizona and then let him take off after that to hit the important stretch runs for the Bills.

No.

We NEED this game to make anything of this season. If anything, do the opposite: play him this week, then give him the next 2 off, especially if Jackson is back.

[Skooby]

We have to win this NE game, it's vital for several reasons.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

If he's able to play, let him play. If need be, rotate, rotate, rotate. You can't have too many weapons.

[SquishDaFish]

This NE game is the most important game out of the next 3. We need everything we can get for this game.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

any way we can put him in street clothes and have him on the sideline with his uni under his street clothes so that we can sneek him in sometime in the second quarter? I'd love to **** with Bellijerk's mind a bit.

[Typ0]

you don't put him out there if he's not ready it's just asking for him to injure something else.

[BertSquirtgum]

C.J. Spiller won't rule out playing against Patriots (http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2012/09/cj-spiller-wont-rule-out-playing-against-patriots-.html)

His specific injury is more of a soreness versus something he can easily severely injure.

Yeah, real smart guy. Your best play maker says he can play so sit him. ****ing brilliant.

CJ has a sore shoulder, run to your left away from the hits or don't get touched.
