‘Additionally on Wednesday, Buffalo (5-6) promoted defensive end Lionel Dotson to the active roster and signed linebacker Robert Eddins to the practice squad.’

‘”No, it was cool, but that’s all in the past,” he said of the attention. “There’s really no issue to me. I know there’s no issue to the guys on my team so we are just moving on now and that’s already been talked about. We’ve got to move on.”‘

‘Buffalo’s troubled receiving staff needs a big game against a strong Titans’ secondary. The Bills need to generate some pressure on QB Matt Hasselbeck, but he’s difficult to sack with his experience and ability to dump the ball quickly. The Titans are playing with confidence under rookie coach Mike Munchak, the Hall of Fame offensive lineman who took over for Jeff Fisher.’

‘”Yeah it’s been a long time since we’ve played in front of our fans,” QB Ryan Fitzpatrick said. “Even the Toronto game was a home game but it’s been awhile since we’ve been able to play at the Ralph and we’re really looking forward to it.”‘

‘”The fine is appropriate,” Johnson said moments after practice Wednesday. “I have no thoughts as far as negative thoughts like ‘Oh it shouldn’t happen,’ or whatever. But it happened, and it’s part of the game. That’s it though. I ain’t really worried about it, and just gonna move on to Tennessee and just deal with it.”‘

‘”I feel like I did as much as I could,” said the Bills running back. “That will hopefully just take care of itself. It’s not something I’m going to worry about right now. I put faith in Buddy, and that’s all I can do. He’s a man of his word, so I’ll have faith in him and we’ll see what happens.”‘

‘”You know it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do so,” said Jackson. “I definitely want to be out there helping my teammates as much as possible, to be sidelined and watching from a couch last week, and this week I want to try and get down on the sidelines, but it’s still tough.”‘

‘”To be cut off to a 10 game season is not what you want,” Jackson said. “I was able to make some plays while I was out there but I feel like there was a lot of football left for me to make plays out there.”‘

‘Leodis is less significant so he’s got a better chance to practice today or tomorrow. He might not get out there today but I think he’s got a chance to get out there tomorrow. This has been a long thing with George and it’s coming slowly. I know he won’t be out there today and we’re hoping maybe we can get him out there one day this week.’

‘”They told us that surgery was needed,” said Gailey. “He hasn’t been 100 percent really at any point this year. It had been bothering him so he needed to go get it done.”‘
