Bills vs. Patriots Injury Update: Stevie Johnson Back Practicing

After missing practice on Wednesday due to a lingering groin injury, Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson returned to the practice field Thursday - and did so without limitation. Reporters on scene noted that Johnson was clearly less than 100 percent; nonetheless, Johnson remains on track to play in Sunday's Week 3 showdown with the New England Patriots.

Spencer Johnson (hip) also returned to full practice participation Thursday. Torell Troup (back) was full go for a second straight day, and may be healthy enough to make his 2011 debut this weekend, should the team choose that route. Missing practice for a second straight day were Kraig Urbik (knee), Kirk Morrison (hamstring) and Terrence McGee (hamstring). Morrison was on hand to watch practice from the sidelines.

On New England's side of the ball, six players sat out Thursday: tight ends Aaron Hernandez (knee) and Dan Gronkowski (hamstring), tackle Sebastian Vollmer (back), defensive linemen Albert Haynesworth (back) and Mike Wright (concussion), and safety Patrick Chung (thumb). Seven more players were listed as limited.

Haynesworth and Gronkowski are new injuries for the Patriots. Vollmer, Haynesworth, Wright and Chung are all listed as starters by the Patriots, and we all know that Hernandez plays a significant role, as well. Early reports indicate Chung will be out.

Chung Out

Pat Kirwan on Sirius NFL just said Patrick Chung is ruled out for week 3. He is having surgery on his broken thumb.

that is big

if we can cause a turnover or 2 and we can stop Tomcat a few times, there is no reason we cannot win

Odds dont work like that. They calculate a number that will get people to bet 50% each way. He makes the most money this way

Injury Talk

With all this injury talk, especially in regards to WR, is there any murmur of a TO re-signing? Or is the front office too proud to sign a high caliber WR after just trading one….

by sethargy on Sep 22, 2011 5:53 PM EDT reply actions  

“is the front office too proud to sign a high caliber WR after just trading one….”

No — they’re too SMART to sign a 36-year-old who’s currently undergoing treatment outside the country.

Please, go away . . .

Injury Talk

Way to engage in a public discourse, you should probably get outside more! Thanks for your omnipotence….

You did sort of make a chatacter assumption of the premis of not signing a old wide out when he is getting surgery from a bad achilles I believe is suppose to be out till mid to late season. Buffalo also put up 38 points so if we need to bring in a to it would be late in season bad injury to someone and having playoffs contentions.

“Way to engage in a public discourse, you should probably get outside more!”

You’re the one who referred to one WR who has two catches in two games and is currently injured [Evans], and another WR who’s long past his prime and currently getting surgery in Asia [Owens] as “high caliber WR’s” . . .

Perhaps YOU need to get out more . . .

We are stuck in the Bills Bizzaro world. Its an alternate universe that squeaks through the wormhole in the universe when the Bills are winning.

We have gone to the other side folks. That’s why everything is going sideways…

Word of advise, as a Pats fan;

Don’t assume too much from one of ther injury reports especially when it’s regarding starters. Tom Brady was on it forever.

It is what it is

Who cares about his back!

We need his groin to start practicing again!
