 Latest Bills Player Notes
Nov 20 2009 - Keith Ellison
  LB Keith Ellison (quad) was placed on injured reserve.

Nov 20 2009 - Cary Harris
  CB Cary Harris has been promoted to the 53-man roster by Buffalo. Harris has spent the previous 10 weeks on the Bills' practice squad. He originally joined the team as a sixth-round draft selection (183rd overall) in 2009 from USC. Harris appeared in 52 games making 34 starts for Southern California. The 5'11, 187-pound defensive back totaled 143 tackles including 7.5 stops for a loss in his collegiate career.

Nov 20 2009 - Marcus Stroud
  DT Marcus Stroud (knee) will not play Sunday after being ruled out Friday.

Nov 19 2009 - Jairus Byrd
  FS Jairus Byrd did not practice for a second day due to his lingering groin problems. He should be OK to play on Sunday in Jacksonville.

Nov 19 2009 - Roscoe Parrish
  WR Roscoe Parrish returned to work after a day off for sickness. There's a chance he'll return to the lineup under new coach Perry Fewell, who is looking for any kind of spark he can get as interim coach.

Nov 19 2009 - Terrence McGee
  CB Terrence McGee remains sidelined after bye week knee surgery. He continues to work with trainers on the sidelines and looks to be another week or two away.

Nov 19 2009 - Keith Ellison
  LB Keith Ellison did not practice again Thursday with a quad injury. He remains questionable for the Jaguars game. The injury is limiting his mobility.

Nov 19 2009 - Marcus Stroud
  DT Marcus Stroud did not practice for a second day with a knee injury. He is expected to play Sunday in Jacksonville against his former team but he remains a game-time decision. Stroud's injury has been described as general wear and tear of a long season.

Nov 19 2009 - Jonathan Scott
  OT Jonathan Scott returned to the team after missing last weekend after the death of his father. Scott's availability could juggle plans for the starting lineup Sunday in Jacksonville.

Nov 19 2009 - Brian Brohm
  QB Brian Brohm is an interesting addition to the Bills' crowded if cloudy QB picture. The 6-2, 223-pounder, who tied Atlanta's Matt Ryan for the highest Wonderlic score by quarterbacks eligible for the 2008 NFL Draft, was the 56th overall pick that season of the Packers. Green Bay chose to go with just two quarterbacks on its active roster this year, which is why he wound up on the practice squad. When the Bills put in their claim, the Packers matched the contract offer but Brohm, recognizing that his chances of playing in Buffalo are much greater than in Green Bay behind rising star Aaron Rodgers, chose to sign with the Bills. It's not out of the question that should Fitzpatrick falter, Brohm would get a shot before Edwards before this season is out.

Nov 19 2009 - Gibran Hamdan
  QB Gibran Hamdan, a three-year member of the club, was released when the Bills claimed Brian Brohm off of Green Bay's practice sqaud.

Nov 19 2009 - Brian Brohm
  QB Brian Brohm signed with Buffalo's 53-man roster. The Bills cut third QB Gibran Hamden. Brohn was released by Green Bay during final roster cuts in September and had been on the team's practice squad.

Nov 18 2009 - Marcus Stroud
  DT Marcus Stroud did not practice Wednesday due to a tender knee but he is expected to play Sunday against his old team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stroud has played a lot of snaps and his knee is more a wear-and-tear issue so he is getting extra rest this week.

Nov 18 2009 - Demetrius Bell
  LT Demitrius Bell, who injured his knee in last week's loss at Tennessee, may not be ruled out for the season as was first expected. Interim coach Perry Fewell said the team was optimistic Bell could return at some point, labeling his status "week to week."

Nov 18 2009 - Trent Edwards
  QB Trent Edwards days as Buffalo's starter could be over. Backup Ryan Fitzpatrick was named the starter for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, and while interim coach Perry Fewell said he would name his starter on a week-to-week basis, should Fitzpatrick play well, there will be no reason to take him out of the lineup. So Edwards must sit and wait for his next chance. His play has regressed this season and currently he ranks 24th among NFL passers with a 74.1 rating.

Nov 18 2009 - Ryan Fitzpatrick
  QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was named the starter for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, interim coach Perry Fewell announced. Fitzpatrick was 1-1 as Trent Edwards' replacement earlier this year and he came off the bench to earn a win over the New York Jets. WR Terrell Owens applauded the move to Fitzpatrick without disparaging Edwards. "He'll be able to buy time with that experience," Owens said. "There will be some times where he can assess the defense and really take some shots downfield. We're looking forward to the opportunity with Ryan. He was 2-1 before the bye week. Personally, I feel like it was his job to lose."

Nov 18 2009 - C.J. Hawthorne
  WR C.J. Hawthorne (undisclosed) was placed on practice squad/injured by Buffalo.

Nov 18 2009 - Christian Gaddis
  OL Christian Gaddis was signed to the Bills' practice squad. He entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with the Bills in 2007

Nov 18 2009 - Derek Fine
  TE Derek Fine (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve.

Nov 17 2009 - Joe Klopfenstein
  TE Joe Klopfenstein, a fourth-year veteran who has not been in the league this season, signed with the Bills, who placed Derek Fine on injured reserve.

Nov 17 2009 - Brian Moorman
  P Brian Moorman appeared in his 137th game as a Bill, breaking a tie with Ruben Brown for 26th place on the team's career games played list. He needs five more to tie Mike Stratton. On the year, Moorman's 46.27 average is the best in team history. He already owns seven of the top 10 single-season averages.

Nov 17 2009 - Jairus Byrd
  FS Jairus Byrd is the first NFL player since Denver's Champ Bailey in 2005 to record an interception in five consecutive games. He has an NFL-best eight picks, tying the Bills rookie record set by Archie Matsos in 1960.

Nov 17 2009 - Kyle Williams
  DT Kyle Williams, who has missed two games with a torn MCL, continues an intense rehab schedule but remains doubtful for this week's game at Jacksonville. Buffalo's run defense has plummeted to the 32nd in the NFL without Williams.

Nov 17 2009 - Terrence McGee
  CB Terrence McGee, who underwent minor surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee during the bye week, sat out last Sunday's loss at Tennessee. He remains questionable for this week but is getting closer.

Nov 17 2009 - Donte Whitner
  FS Donte Whitner, who missed two games with a high-ankle sprain, dressed for last week's loss at Tennessee but did not play. With rookie Jairus Byrd playing so well, Whitner will be used in nickel and dime situations when he becomes closer to 100 percent healthy.

Nov 17 2009 - Demetrius Bell
  LT Demetrius Bell suffered a right knee injury in Sunday's loss to Tennessee and is expected to miss the remainder of the season. An update on his condition is expected Wednesday.

Nov 17 2009 - Terrell Owens
  WR Terrell Owens has 26 catches for 366 yards and one score but had his best game as a Bill in last week's loss to Tennessee. Owens caught three passes for a season-high 85 yards, including a long of 46 to set up a touchdown. With 977 catches, he remains sixth on the NFL's career list.

Nov 17 2009 - Lee Evans
  WR Lee Evans recorded his seventh multi-TD game in last week's loss to Tennessee, catching TD passes of 27 and 8 yards. He's the 10th player in Bills history with that many multiple touchdown games.

Nov 17 2009 - Shawn Nelson
  TE Shawn Nelson, who returned to the lineup after a bout with migraine headaches, caught three passes for 13 yards in Sunday's Tennessee loss. He has a catch in three consecutive games he has played. The Bills are hoping the rookie can stay in the lineup and keep developing over the final seven games as it looks to next season.

Nov 17 2009 - Fred Jackson
  RB Fred Jackson has raised his all-purpose yardage total to 1,364 yards. He even added a TD pass in Sunday's loss to Tennessee, hitting Lee Evans with a 27-yard pass out of the Wildcat formation.

Nov 17 2009 - Marshawn Lynch
  RB Marshawn Lynch continues to struggle finding his game legs. Since returning from a three-game suspension to start the year, he has gained 254 yards on 79 carries, a 3.2 average. He is averaging just 13 carries a game, a reflection on the team's overall offensive struggles.

Nov 17 2009 - Trent Edwards
  QB Trent Edwards, who returned to the starting lineup last Sunday at Tennessee after missing a month with a concussion, could be benched for this week's game at Jacksonville. Coach Dick Jauron would not commit to Edwards and won't make an announcement until Wednesday. Edwards' career has fizzled; he is 5-14 in his last 19 starts.

Nov 16 2009 - George Wilson
  SS George Wilson was solid in run support, and he may have supplanted Donte Whitner as a starter. Whitner dressed for the game but did not play.

Nov 16 2009 - Marshawn Lynch
  RB Marshawn Lynch continues to struggle. He had just 37 yards on nine carries and four catches for 18 yards.

Nov 16 2009 - Shawn Nelson
  TE Shawn Nelson started and caught all three balls thrown his way, though they went for just 13 yards.

Nov 16 2009 - Jairus Byrd
  FS Jairus Byrd intercepted a pass for the fifth straight game to set a team record. He has a league-leading eight picks, tying a rookie team record.

Nov 16 2009 - Donte Whitner
  FS Donte Whitner, who has been sidelined most of the past six weeks with injuries, dressed against Tennessee but did not play. His status had been listed as questionable.

Nov 16 2009 - Fred Jackson
  RB Fred Jackson had a full day against the Titans. He rushed for 48 yards, caught three passes for 23 yards, threw a 27-yard TD pass, averaged 23.9 yards on kickoff returns and 12.5 in punt returns.

Nov 16 2009 - Kyle Williams
  DT Kyle Williams has missed two games with a knee injury, so Spencer Johnson has started in his place.

Nov 16 2009 - Bryan Scott
  LB Bryan Scott returned to play in Tennessee after missing the previous five games with a high ankle sprain, but he was used at weak-side linebacker in place of injured Keith Ellison.

Nov 16 2009 - Ashton Youboty
  CB Ashton Youboty suffered a high ankle sprain against the Titans, and he sat down in favor of rookie Ellis Lankster in the fourth quarter. Jauron did not give a timetable on Youboty, but that injury typically is a four- to six-week deal.

Nov 16 2009 - Kirk Chambers
  OL Kirk Chambers had to start at right tackle because original starter Brad Butler is out for the season, backup Jonathan Scott had to skip the game due to the death of his father, and the next guy in line, Jamon Meredith, was sidelined due to a knee injury.

Nov 16 2009 - Demetrius Bell
  LT Demetrius Bell suffered a knee injury Sunday, but the extent of his injury was unknown. Coach Dick Jauron did not draw any conclusions Monday on how long Bell would be sidelined. "We're not optimistic about it at this point, but we'll know more later," Jauron said.

Nov 15 2009 - Demetrius Bell
  LT Demetrius Bell went down with a knee injury in the second quarter Sunday, the severity of which was unknown.

Nov 15 2009 - Bryan Scott
  SS Bryan Scott made his first start at LB and was in on nine tackles Sunday, plus he had another on special teams.

Nov 15 2009 - Lee Evans
  WR Lee Evans had his first multiple-TD game Sunday as he caught a 27-yarder from RB Fred Jackson and an 8-yarder from Trent Edwards.

Nov 15 2009 - Terrell Owens
  WR Terrell Owens had a season-high 85 yards receiving Sunday, which included catches of 46 and 37 yards, but he did not score. Owens also engaged in his first sideline shouting match of the season. In the second quarter, both he and fellow receiver Josh Reed felt QB Trent Edwards missed a read, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with receivers coach Tyke Tolbert. "The read that we both assessed, we felt we missed it and we were just trying to get everyone on the same page," Owens said. "Josh and I saw the same thing." .

Nov 15 2009 - Ryan Fitzpatrick
  QB Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced starter Trent Edwards late in the game Sunday because coach Dick Jauron said he was not happy with Edwards' play in the fourth quarter (0-for-4, interception returned for touchdown). "There was some good, but obviously some things we missed," Jauron said. "That's why in the last few minutes we decided to get Ryan (Fitzpatrick) in there." Of course Fitzpatrick failed to take advantage of Edwards' absence when he was out with the concussion, and this opportunity was wasted as well as he promptly threw a pick-six of his own that raised the count to the final 41-17. Jauron was non-committal when asked if Edwards was still his starting quarterback. "We will discuss it as we go along," he said.

Nov 15 2009 - Trent Edwards
  QB Trent Edwards returned to the field after sitting out 2 1/2 games and completed 18 of 28 passes for 185 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Coach Dick Jauron replaced Edwards with backup Ryan Fitzpatrick late in the game because he was not happy with Edwards' play in the fourth quarter (0-for-4, interception returned for a touchdown). Jauron was non-committal when asked if Edwards was still his starting quarterback moving forward. "We will discuss it as we go along," he said.

Nov 13 2009 - Terrell Owens
  WR Terrell Owens (hip) returned to practice Friday and said he plans to play Sunday.
