Bills vs. Bengals Injury Report: Bills Secondary Banged Up

by Brian Galliford on Sep 30, 2011 1:40 PM EDT in Buffalo Bills News

The Buffalo Bills have wrapped up practice on Friday, and three of their players have been ruled out for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. A fourth is doubtful, and four more players are probable.

Stevie Johnson has been listed as probable with his groin injury; he missed practice Wednesday while resting, but practiced fully Thursday and Friday. Also listed as probable are running back Johnny White (ankle), nose tackle Torell Troup (back) and inside linebacker Kirk Morrison (hamstring).

Kraig Urbik, who was officially ruled out on Thursday, has been upgraded to doubtful after practicing on a limited basis on Friday. While it's highly unlikely that he'll suit up for this game, he now looks to have a strong shot at returning to his right guard spot in Week 5.

Three players were ruled out: inside linebacker Chris White (hamstring) and cornerbacks Terrence McGee (hamstring) and Aaron Williams (collarbone).

With Chris White and Aaron Williams out...

…what does that mean for our special teams? Some of the starters will have to fill-in?

Prob Morrison fills in for white, then Rogers or wheatley fills in for williams. We have a decent amount of depth for special teams

It means the special teams loses a little size. That’s about it. They’ll be fine.

Special teams have always been a Bills 'specialty'.

Chad Rinehart and Kraig Urbik

It will be interesting to watch Chad this weekend. I expect improvement both mentally and physically and I am not suggesting he did poor last week, but it was his first game and this will be his second. If he does improve I would think they give Rinehart reps until after the bye week and allow Urbik to get 100% and then fight in practice before going back out. I do agree that it is his spot, but I am looking at it as an opportunity to not rush him and give Chad valuable PT that even Chan has said he deserves.
