Butler, Schouman going for tests
Bills head coach Dick Jauron did not give a timetable on the knee injuries suffered by RT Brad Butler and TE Derek Schouman, but both were to undergo further testing and examination tonight to ascertain the severity of the injuries. Presumably both will undergo MRIs to see whether they suffered any structural damage to their [...]

Listed as doubtful on Friday with an ailing knee Bucs #1 WR Antonio Bryant did not even make the trip with the team to Buffalo Saturday. So Tampa will be without their top wideout this afternoon.

If Owens finds the end zone today…
Expect something related to Michael Jackson. Owens was a huge Michael Jackson fan and tweeted about the entertainer’s passing when it happened earlier this year. I don’t know exactly what he has in mind, but it will be in tribute to the King of Pop.

Poz frustrated beyond belief
I spoke to Poz briefly in the locker room following practice Friday. And I asked him where his frustration level is at on a scale of 1-10. His answer? “11.” “It’s just like what else is going to happen,” said an exasperated Posluszny. “It was a great atmosphere, Monday Night football and we had a [...]
McGee questionable for Sunday
Terrence McGee is questionable for Sunday’s game after missing Friday’s practice. McGee was suffering from back spasms this morning and could not participate.

Setback for Bucs WR Bryant or not?
The Bucs aren’t calling Antonio Bryant’s inability to practice Thursday a setback, but the Tampa media thinks otherwise. According to the Tampa Tribune they believe Bryant’s knee, which had surgery in August to repair a torn meniscus has indeed suffered a setback. Tampa head coach Raheem Morris is not ready to go that far. It could [...]
