McGee Lone Player Out: Terrence McGee is the lone player not practicing today. Torrel Troup worked out on a limited basis as did Arthur Moats. Alex Carrington had his upper leg wrapped heavily but was practicing. He took reps exclusively on the line today while Spencer Johnson got some reps at outside linebacker. He would likely play close to the line in more of a 4-3 defense. The Bills may apply that defense a bit more this week against the big and fast running game of Oakland. Injury Page.
Corner Back: The Bills added much needed depth to the cornerback position by re-signing recently released Reggie Corner. To make room they placed LB Robert Eddins on injured reserve ending his season. Corner can step right in and help since he knows the defense and brings a veteran presence to a young backup unit. He will likely be the fourth corner on Sunday. Front Office Page.
Season Ticket Sales Down: The Buffalo News is reporting that season ticket sales this season are down almost 15%. There are 37,355 season ticket holders, last year there were 43,925. In 2009 there were nearly a third more season tickets than this year. Early season individual games are selling well as Sunday's home opener is soldout along with the Eagles game on October 9th. The Patriots game next Sunday is down to single seats and is virtually guaranteed to sellout in time to lift the TV blackout. If the team continues to play well they have a chance at selling out the Jets game on Nov. 6th. The final three home games are in December and will be tough to sellout unless the team is on an improbable playoff run. CEO Russ Brandon said ticket sales are brisk especially after Sunday's win in KC.

Easley On IR; Martin Re-Signed: It is another lost season for Marcus Easley. He has been placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed illness that was discovered on Friday. No word on what is wrong with him but it appears to be fairly big at least to cost him his season. That is tough break for the talented former fourth round pick who missed his rookie season with a knee injury. The Bills replaced him by re-signing Ruvell Martin who made the team but was then released days later. The team also made a practice squad move by releasing QB Levi Brown and signing CB Terrence Wheatley to the unit. He played in 11 games with the Patriots before being released last November and being picked up by Jacksonville days later. The team desperately needs depth at corner with Terrence McGee sidelined and just four active corners, two being rookies. Wheatley is the second corner on the practice squad. Front Office Page.
