'“We’re excited about having Dareus in,” Ryan said. “Everybody’s excited to have him back.”'

'“Tough to watch,” Dareus said. “But the guys kept me in the loop.”'

'“I’ve made a lot of dumb comments in my days,” Ryan said Wednesday during a conference call with reporters. “That’s probably right up there at the top.”'

'“I didn’t forget about it,” the former Pitt standout said. “It is what it is. It’s not a big deal to me, but I remember what he said.”'

'“He’s a healthy Russell Wilson,” Fisher said of the Bills’ Tyrod Taylor.'

'"I'm just happy with what I did over the four weeks. I really was proactive," Dareus said. "I'm really optimistic of the future."'

'"Yeah, I remember that," Donald said Wednesday after practice. "I remember when I heard about them. I didn't forget about what he said, but it is what it is. Ain't no big deal to me. But I remember what he said."'

'Dareus will certainly be activated, while Henderson's status is very much in the air, so the Bills may have to make only one roster move before the game, and it seems likely that cutting running back Reggie Bush might be the move.'

'"First off, with any player, you hope they learn from a mistake they make, that's the first thing," said coach Rex Ryan. "And then you hope he's ready to go and eager and excited about the opportunity to come back and be part of this football team, and I can tell you right now the answer is yes to that. We're happy to get him back, I can promise you that." '

'The Rams are 30th overall in passing and own the worst overall offense in the NFL. They average 269 yards a game which is 21.5 yards behind the 31st worst team, the Minnesota Vikings who average 290.5 yards a game. The Bills are not much better.'

'Rams, 16-13.'

'"To be honest, we just took a course of action," said Dareus, a two-time Pro Bowl selection. "I just wanted to seek out some professionals to help me out with my everyday situations that I kind of deal with, and from there, [I'm" target="_blank"> just looking to move past it [and" target="_blank"> just kind of continue my ongoing help and [the professionals" target="_blank"> helping me with my decision-making."'

'Bills linebacker Zach Brown has been named as the AFC Defensive Player of the Week after he put up a game-high, and career-high 18 tackles this past Sunday. In addition, Brown's 18 tackles were a league-high, and he also had two forced fumbles and a sack.'

'Rex Ryan revealed ahead of the day of work that the Bills thought they were going to be without normal starting left tackle Cordy Glenn, which would have meant that Michael Ola would have gotten the start. Ola, who had all of two practices under his belt with the Bills at that time of the week. This week, the left tackle position might be a little dicey once more. Glenn, who played all but three offensive snaps against New England, sat out of Wednesday’s practice and was spotted working on the stationary bike with the team’s strength and conditioning coaches.'

'“I’m pretty eager and they can tell by the way I practiced today with the guys,” said Dareus following practice Wednesday. “I’m pretty eager right now. I have a lot of pent up aggression. I’m just ready to go. I can say that much.”'
