He seems to come up with a few bumps and bruises after every game, but manages to heal up and get back in the lineup. This injury is of little concern and he should be ready to go by Monday's game against the Bills. </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#ffffff colSpan=7>

Not that we were holding out much hope, but this makes it pretty much official and the team can get on with putting together a game plan trying to make use of people in the receiving game outside of Lee Evans. </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#ffffff colSpan=7>

The Bills have really struggled to generate a pass rush in Schobel's absence. Chris Kelsay and Ryan Denney are both getting more playing time while Schobel is trying to heal up, but combined they have an extremely disappointing two sacks on the season. </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#ffffff colSpan=7>

Whitner will head into the game as questionable, so given that it's the latest starting time of the week you probably can't afford to take the IDP plunge yet. We actually will side on him playing (he's been medically cleared already), so in any case he should be good to use again soon. </TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#ffffff colSpan=7>
