Inside The Bills

Spencer under the weather

Bills DL Spencer Johnson did not make it out to practice Thursday, but it has nothing to do with his nagging ankle injury.

“He did not come out today,” said head coach Chan Gailey. “He’s sick.”

Johnson’s availability is important knowing Mark Anderson is out and Chris Kelsay is not expected to play either on Sunday.

“Our ace in the hole fortunately is Spencer Johnson, who can go out there (to defensive end) and play if we need him to,” said Gailey earlier in the week when asked about being with Anderson and Kelsay. “He’s got that ability to go out there and play inside or outside.”
