Anderson, Pears declared out this week

Bills DE Mark Anderson and RT Erik Pears won’t be making an appearance in the team’s preseason finale.

“Mark is going to sit this week,” said head coach Chan Gailey. “We made the decision he and Erik (Pears) are both going to sit this week.”

Both Anderson and Pears are dealing with groin injuries. The coaching staff doesn’t want to risk aggravating those injuries further and not have a chance to have both players available for the season opener at the Jets.
