Aaron Williams Out: The Bills have placed Aaron Williams on the injured reserve/designated to return list. He aggravated his neck injury against Tennessee. He will be sidelined until November 25th when he can begin practicing. He can not return to action until the Philadelphia game week 14. The team added S Josh Bush to the roster who spent more than two years with Rex Ryan with the Jets. The former 6th round draft pick was with Denver the past year and a half and played in the first three games this season for them. In other injury news, Leodis McKelvin said he's feeling better and will accompany the team to London when they leave on Sunday night. He will begin practicing next week. He said the ankle never healed properly. He had the old plates removed after they were pushing against the bone. Tyrod Taylor addressed the media and when asked if he will play Sunday, he said "that's the plan". He did say it's up to the coaches and that he hasn't done any lateral movement as the brace prevents that. Sammy Watkins said he's planning on playing, even if he's hurt he needs to go because the offense is basic without him. Front Office Page.
Ryan Presser: Rex Ryan had a lot to say at his media day press conference with the local media. He said Tyrod Taylor will practice some and admitted he does have a sprained MCL. He said players have played with that injury in the past with a brace on. EJ Manuel will get the majority of the reps this week and they have all the confidence in the world in him that is why they were comfortable trading Matt Cassell. The coach says the team was beat up pretty bad in Tennessee and they will have some new names on the injury report when it's released later today. Specifically the coach is worried about the health of Aaron Williams who continues to be bothered by his neck injury. Karlos Williams is still in concussion protocol. LeSean McCoy will practice on a limited basis today for the first time in a few weeks but he likely will not be ready this week although there is a report that says he may play. Dan Carpenter will handle kickoffs for the first time this year and Colton Schmidt will kick a few in practice to back him up.
Ryan Won't Rule Out Taylor: Rex Ryan appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio this morning and said he would definitely not rule out Tyrod Taylor for this week's game against Cincinnati. It could be a bit of showmanship to get the Bengals to prepare for both quarterbacks. It also could have something to do with the toughness of Taylor. Reports surfaced yesterday that he would miss some time with a sprained MCL. Injury Page.

Report Says Taylor Out A While: Jason La Canfora reports that Tyrod Taylor has a sprained MCL suffered during the horse collar tackle against the Titans and could be sidelined several weeks. The NFL Newtwork also reports he is out this week and EJ Manuel will start. Vic Carucci reports that an NFL source says he's hurt pretty bad and the team was checking the passport status of possible QB signings for the game to London in two weeks. The team settled on signing Josh Johnson. Injury Page.
Bills Add QB: The Bills now have three quarterbacks on their depth chart. They have signed Josh Johnson who was released by the Colts on Monday. To make room they released Billy Cundiff ending the two kicker experiment for the time being at least. He was a 5th round draft pick of the Buccaneers in the 2008 draft. He has played in 29 regular season games with five career starts. He has thrown five TD passes and 10 interceptions in his career. The move may have something to do with the health concerns regarding starting QB Tyrod Taylor who Rex Ryan admitted has been banged up all season. He aggravated an ankle injury on Sunday.

Win Not Satisfying: Our columnist Tony Bogyo is no closer to figuring out what this team is about after an ugly win in Tennessee. It wasn't a win to be excited about and sets up a huge measuring stick matchup with the undefeated Bengals this week. Complete Story.

Taylor Hurting: Rex Ryan told the media that Tyrod Taylor has not been 100% all season and that he is banged up after yesterday's game specifically with the ankle injury. Cierre Wood has been placed on IR with a torn ACL. His roster spot was taken by the activation of IK Enemkpali. Other notes from the press conference, Ryan said after looking at the film they won just barely. He didn't seem pleased with the kicking of Billy Cundiff and he's very encouraged by the progress Sammy Watkins has made trying to return from his calf injury. He said Karlos Williams had a doctor's appointment today but is still in concussion protocol. Injury Page.
