Bills vs. Browns, NFL Week 3: Buffalo Rumblings Preview - Buffalo Rumblings
"The Bottom Line: Buffalo has a more talented team than Cleveland. They have a better offense and a higher-upside defense. Yet they've also lost eight straight road games, and have yet to compete in a competitive-for-four-quarters game this year. That could put them at a disadvantage against a Browns team that has quite a bit of talent, as well. Still, as we mentioned up top: this is a game that the Bills have to win if they want to make the playoffs. Seeing how they handle their business in a very interesting and underrated matchup on the road will go a long way toward determining whether or not they have what it takes to get there."

"I guess I’m shocked," said Gailey. "When I saw (the injury) happen it happened right in front of me. When I heard the prognosis, you’re mentally in that five to six week range.

To see where he is right now I’ve got to give a lot of credit to him and the work he’s done and to our training staff for the work they’ve done getting him back. It looks like he’s got a chance for the New England game and for sure the next game."
