'Jarius Wynn, a valuable defensive end for Buffalo’s second wave of linemen behind the starters appears to be out for the year after suffering a knee injury in Friday’s preseason game.'

'“I think having somebody else coming in here it immediately brings more intensity to those types of practices and especially during this time of year you hit that lull. So it’ll be good to play against somebody else and I think the competitive edge for both teams will increase that energy level during practice and we’ll get more work out of it.”'

'“Those guys work in the film room more than anybody,” said Bills head coach Rex Ryan. “They spend hours together in the film room because (the position) is unique that way. You have to know the entire balance of the offense and why we’re doing things.'

'The one-on-one matchups are always fun to watch from the sidelines especially when one player gets the better of the other. That only ratchets up the determination of the beaten player to come back and win the next play. Among the better matchups to watch include Joe Haden on Sammy Watkins, Donte Whitner on Charles Clay, Jerry Hughes vs. Joe Thomas and Marcell Dareus vs. Alex Mack.'

'Whether it be skydiving, repeatedly proclaiming the Bills will make the playoffs in his first season as coach or saying the Bills were the “only team in New York,” Ryan has been himself from the day he arrived at his new job. And that’s been welcomed on a team that is hungry to end a 16-year playoff drought.'
