‘The luckiest man on the roster Thursday night could have been Antoine Caldwell. Doug Legursky suffered what looked to be a serious injury that required him getting carted off the field. After the game, he was seen in an air cast on his left leg to keep his knee from bending. They can’t hold a roster spot for him if he’s going to be out a long time so the Injured Reserve might end up being the play for the Bills with Legursky.’

‘”We’re excited about it,” head coach Doug Marrone told Buffalobills.com. “Ever since I’ve been here we’ve put a lot on that position just like we do with the quarterback position. You hear the saying all the time that you want to be strong up the middle and getting Eric done and making sure that he’s here is a big part of what we want now and in the future.”‘

‘This organization has stuck by me through some tough times, some of the toughest times of my life. Two major injuries and I couldn’t have been more thankful for how they supported me through those times and how they’re still willing to give me a long-term extension even though everyone around me and everyone in the media wants to say that I’m injury prone and hopefully I’ll be able to prove that I’m not and hopefully get some good fortune to come in my favor. Like you said, definitely rewarding and definitely happy where I’m at.’

‘With the cuts, Buffalo’s roster stands at 58 with Jairus Byrd’s roster exemption expiring at 4 pm. The veteran safety will now count toward the team’s roster total.’

‘Bills QB Kevin Kolb, WR Brad Smith, and FB Drew Smith were placed on season-ending IR on Friday.’
