‘Fitzpatrick was walking with a slight limp on Wednesday, favoring his right leg. He’s not missed a snap since taking over as starter in Week 3. He’s provided the offense a semblance of identity despite the team’s 4-11 record.’

‘The rookie class has been outstanding,” said head coach Chan Gailey. “We had some free agents that have come on and really played well for us this year. Our draft class was hurt a little bit this year with (Danny) Batten and Marcus (Easley) going out early, and Ed (Wang) working through thumb surgery, but we’ve been able to get some real help from some of the other guys that we drafted.”‘

‘Only two Bills were considered serious candidates: Defensive tackle Kyle Williams and wide receiver Stevie Johnson, although Ryan Fitzpatrick climbed as high as fifth in the fan vote in mid-December.’

‘If you check out the following college football bowl games, there is an excellent chance that you’ll get a preview of the first-round pick (or picks) of the Buffalo Bills in the 2011 NFL draft…’.

‘"I’m glad he’s feeling better, but I don’t think that status is going to change," Bills head coach Chan Gailey said of Nelson. "It isn’t broken, but it’s bad enough that he’ll have a hard time playing this week. It would take a true miracle for him to get out there this week."’

‘Buffalo also signed receiver Rod Windsor to the practice squad after he was released from the Cleveland Browns practice squad earlier this month.’

‘This is the second time that Hubbard (6’2″, 225) has been called up to the active roster. His first elevation to the 53-man squad came back in Week 10, but he was re-signed to the practice squad a week later.’
