Bills vs. Titans Injury Report: George Wilson Out

by Brian Galliford on Dec 2, 2011 1:01 PM EST in Buffalo Bills News

For a third straight week, the Buffalo Bills will be without the services of veteran strong safety George Wilson (neck) when they take on the Tennessee Titans this Sunday.

Wilson suffered a stinger in a Week 10 loss to Dallas, and has missed the team's last two games against Miami and New York. He'll once again be replaced by rookie Da'Norris Searcy in the starting lineup. Once again, he did not practice at all this week.

Dave Rayner will continue to handle kicking duties for Rian Lindell (shoulder), who is doubtful and at least another game away from being ready to return. Lindell reportedly did some kicking in three limited practices this week, but the team is not yet comfortable with the prospect of him needing to tackle on kickoff coverage.

Two more players - wide receiver Naaman Roosevelt (shoulder) and cornerback Leodis McKelvin (ribs) - are probable. Roosevelt will likely serve as the fourth receiver, while McKelvin could handle return duties and serve as the dime back behind Drayton Florence, Aaron Williams and Justin Rogers.

How's Searcy

been doing so far? I haven’t noticed him a lot in the past games which is…(for the most part) good, right? And for that matter, how’s Rogers been holding up? Was he the one with a pass breakup in the end zone in the Jets game or am I thinking of someone else?

Searcy has been good. Slightly better in run defense than in pass defense in my opinion while Rogers has been performing good overall. Williams had the big pass breakup in the endzone.

Rogers did have a nice diving pass breakup

in the endzone as well. I think Brian even posted an article about it the other day. Both young corners are showing promise.

Agreed

Blew some coverages looking into the backfield as all rookies at his position do. He is and will be a very, very solid player!

I know going back a month, Wilson has favored by some analysts to make the pro-bowl. Has his injury impacted that at all?

Remember reading he is second in ss voting.

My fantasy team is screwed. Wilson was dropping 20 points a game for me! Vick is out, Wilson is out, Suh is suspended, and Freddy J and Miles Austin bit the dust!!! Dang

GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!

I think his “stinger” injury is much more than that.
Shut him down now, and get him surgery/rehab/rest or whatever he needs.
No playoffs now, so let’s just let Searcy get some game experience and get a healthy Senator back next year.
