Blackout Lifted Thanks To Owner: The local blackout for Sunday's game against the Jets has been lifted and is officially a sell out. Their were over 3,000 tickets remaining at the deadline and the generosity of Owner Ralph Wilson saved the first blackout of the season. The classy owner bought the remaining tickets and donated them to local boys and girls clubs.
Bledsoe Returns To Practice: Drew Bledsoe took part in alternate drills today and felt good. He said he could have done more but the plan was to rotate quarterbacks in practice today.
Sullivan And Price Take Bigger Role: With the fractured toe joint putting Jonas Jennings out for the year, the backups need to step up. Marcus Price is the obvious choice to replace him in the starting lineup. Price has been the "flip" tackle this year, backing up both positions and in some cases outplaying the starters. Coach Williams said in his media day press conference yesterday that Marques Sullivan will get a look in practice this week and may also get reps at left tackle.
Injury Update: Terrence McGee and Dave Moore were two injured players that practiced yesterday, both should be ready to go on Sunday. Held out besides the previously reported Drew Bledsoe were Mike Pucillo, Keith McKenzie, Sammy Morris, Travis Henry, Eric Moulds, and Ruben Brown. Injury Report.

Bledsoe Dizzy: Drew Bledsoe missed practice on Wednesday with dizziness. That is the result of his helmet to helmet hit suffered against the Giants. It is the second week in a row that Bledsoe has missed practice time because of a blow to the end. He suffered a concussion against the Colts. The latest hit did not give him a concussion but left him woozy. His status for Sunday's game is in question although he vows to play if he can. He is officially listed as probable on the injury report.
Brown Re-Signed: The Bills have re-signed QB Travis Brown and made room for him on the roster by placing Jonas Jennings on injured reserve. Brown was injured in preseason and was placed on injured reserve before agreeing on an injury settlement with the club. That allowed him to be released and re-signed after week 10. The Bills also made a practice squad move by releasing QB Randy Fasini and signing offensive tackle David Porter. He was with the Packers this summer before being released. Front Office.
Eight On Report: The Bills have seven players on the injury report for this week's game. Jonas Jennings is out for the game and his season is over after suffering a toe injury against the Giants. Drew Bledsoe is probable with his concussion and is expecte to play as is Dave Moore. Mike Pucillo remains doubtufl while Terrence McGee, Keith McKenzie and Sammy Morris are questionable.

Schobel Honored: Aaron Schobel has been named the AFC Defensive Player Of The Week after his three sack effort against the Giants. He also had five tackles and a fumble recovery in the win. He is the first Bill to be honored this year.

Players Banged Up: As we reported yesterday, the Bills had many players banged up in the win over the Giants. The offensive line remains the most banged up unit as Ruben Brown, Jonas Jennings, and Mike Pucillo did not finish the game, Pucillo was inactive with turf toe. The Bills may be able to use the last month of the season to use some young players to rest the banged up players since, despite the victory, the playoffs would take a miracle. Injury Page.
Moore Moves Up: Dave Moore caught a touchdown against the Giants before leaving the game with a concussion. Moore was making his first start since early in the year as he has appeared to have moved ahead of Mark Campbell at tight end. Depth Chart.
