Eleven Players Miss Practice for the Bills

The Buffalo Bills are already one of the gimpiest teams in the league. Not a week goes by it seems where the Bills don't lose a player to injury. Buffalo already has 12 dudes on injured reserve, but the injury woes just keep on coming.

As the Bills prepared for the their Sunday match up against the Washington Redskins, 11 different players missed practice.

Three defensive backs were out -- Donte Whitner, Bryan Scott and Jerametrius Butler. Whitner had family business to attend to and Scott was sick. Butler is nursing a calf injury. Two linebackers missed practice -- Mario Haggan and Coy Wire . Haggan was ill and Wire is out with a neck injury. The Bills were also without defensive ends Chris Kelsay and Ryan Denny . Kelsay's ankle injury has put him on cruches and Dennet's out with a foot injury.

On offense, running backs Marshawn Lynch and Anthony Thomas both missed practice. Lynch went down with a high ankle sprain in a game against Miami (Nov. 11). Thomas injured his calf during the loss to Jacksonville. Wide receiver Roscoe Parrish and tight end Robert Royal are also out. Parish is ill and Royal has an ankle injury.

The Bills are running out of bodies to fill the depth chart. Practice squad shuffles have been commonplace this season. If they want to remain semi-competitive for the remainder of the season, Buffalo can't afford any more injuries.
