‘The sun was out and there was no wind, but temperatures at practice were around 40 degrees. That may have given Johnson’s hamstring an even better test, “Probably so and it was good cause he’d go out to practice then he’d sit on the bench just like he would in a game, come back out and run and then go sit on the bench, that was good.”‘

‘Now that Williams is playing better you would think he would be feeling validation. He said, “No, I’m still … until it’s done, which obviously with something like that with having a procedure in the middle of the season that most people probably wouldn’t have even been playing right now and still until after the season cause we’re beating on it constantly. I’m not going to be back to where I’m feel I’m at until after the season. But like I said I’m definitely progressing and before I even got it, I said the reason why I’m doing this is because I know that healing is going to occur. I’m getting back there, I’m just anxious to be back to 100 (percent).”‘

‘Robert Sitter, 31, of Hamilton, Ontario is receiving life-saving care at ECMC. He was hit by a cab after the Bills-Dolphins game last month while crossing Southwestern Boulevard. The hospital bill could be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars – money the family just doesn’t have.’

‘I do not care about snow or 100-degree weather. When you have to go out there and play, you have to go out there and play. I said that before when I first got here. I could care less if it is negative-10. It does not matter to me. Coming from Houston, I played in some pretty cold games with other teams so it does not matter. When you are out there, your adrenaline is pumping and it is one of those things that does not really factor into me.’

‘Hairston was seen Wednesday after practice hobbling in an immobilizer boot that ran right up to his knee. The second-year tackle is the second player in as many days moved to injured reserve after veteran DE Chris Kelsay was placed on that list Wednesday with a torn ligament in his neck.’
