PFW on Losman:
Buffalo
Bills fans hoping that the pro debut of rookie QB J.P. Losman late in the Week 10 loss at New England would indicate an immediate changing of the guard will be disappointed to learn that Losman is still not 100 percent healthy and likely won’t be named starter for a few more weeks. We hear that Losman’s fractured leg is about 85 percent healed and that he has yet to take a significant number of snaps in practice. With the Bills traveling to Seattle and Miami the next two weeks, the likely target date for Losman to make his first start is Dec. 12 at home vs. the Browns. Word is the Bills want Losman to play this season so they can determine how far along he is. As for Drew Bledsoe, if he’s asked to fill a backup role next season, it’s up in the air whether he’ll return, since he will count $4.33 million against the Bills’ 2005 salary cap. If he’s released after this season, he’ll count $6.51 million vs. the cap. PFW: The way we hear it (http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+Way+We+Hear+It/default.htm?mode=afceast)
