Buffalo Bills' rookie running back Marshawn Lynch and starting defensive end Chris Kelsay won't play Sunday at the Washington Redskins. Lynch will miss his third straight game because of a severely sprained left ankle. Kelsay is out after hurting his left ankle in Buffalo's loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. Lynch practiced Friday on a limited basis, and Coach Dick Jauron hoped he would be available next week against Miami. With backup running back Anthony Thomas out indefinitely because of a torn calf muscle, the Bills will use two inexperienced backs against the Redskins: Fred Jackson and Dwayne Wright.

Bills' rookie running back Marshawn Lynch will miss his second consecutive game because of a badly sprained left ankle when Buffalo plays at Jacksonville on Sunday. Lynch, the Bills' top offensive threat, was ruled out by Head Coach Dick Jauron after he missed his third practice on Friday. He hasn't played since the injury in Buffalo's win over Miami two weeks ago.

Despite generating only 229 yards in Sunday night's blowout loss to New England, quarterback J.P. Losman has retained the Buffalo Bills' starting job for next Sunday's key conference matchup at Jacksonville. It will mark the fourth straight start for Losman who opened the season as the starter and then lost the job to rookie Trent Edwards when he suffered a left knee sprain on Sept. 23. Edwards started four straight games, winning three of them, then suffered a sprained right wrist. The injury allowed Losman, the team's first-round choice in the 2004 draft, to reclaim the No. 1 spot on the depth chart. Buffalo has won two of its last three outings with Losman back in the lineup but was blown out, 56-10, by New England on Sunday night. The defeat was the worst in franchise history.

Buffalo Bills' tight end Kevin Everett has been released from a Houston hospital to resume his next phase of rehab, 10 weeks since sustaining a severe spinal cord injury. "While this news is a significant milestone for me, I still have a long journey to full recovery," Everett said in a statement released Sunday by Houston's Memorial Hermann/TIRR, where the player spent the past two months in rehab. It was unclear when this week he was released, but Everett will continue his rehab at the facility as an outpatient. "I was fortunate to meet many extraordinary people at Memorial Hermann/TIRR, many who have suffered the same or similar injury as myself, many of whom I now consider friends," Everett said. "Their courage and determination inspired me to fight every day for recovery of my ability to walk."

The New England Patriots were unstoppable again, making an unbeaten season seem almost inevitable. Scoring touchdowns on their first seven offensive possessions and getting the eighth on a turnover, the Patriots won their 10th straight game, routing Buffalo 56-10 Sunday night. Tom Brady and Randy Moss, themselves ready to rewrite the NFL record books, led the romp. Brady was 31-of-39 for 373 yards with five TD passes, four to Moss, as New England became the 10th team since 1970 to start a season 10-0. The way they played, they appear unbeatable, and barring injury are an excellent bet to become the NFL's first perfect team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

The Bills already understand the daunting challenge they face Sunday in hosting the dominating and undefeated New England Patriots. Now they might have to do so minus their top offensive threat: running back Marshawn Lynch. Coach Dick Jauron on Wednesday all but ruled out Lynch from playing after the rookie missed practice because of a severely sprained left ankle. "It's very sore right now, and I would say we're not overly optimistic," Jauron said, referring to the chances of Lynch playing. Jauron then raised concerns that the injury, which Lynch got in a 13-10 win at Miami on Sunday, might be severe enough to keep him out for more than one week.

Two days after leading the Bills to another come-from-behind win, quarterback J.P. Losman was selected as the starter for Buffalo's game against unbeaten New England on Sunday. Coach Dick Jauron released a statement Tuesday on the quarterbacking situation. Down 10-2 after three quarters, Losman guided the Bills to a 13-10 victory over the winless Miami Dolphins last Sunday, his second straight fourth-quarter comeback win and third of his career. He also manufactured a late-game rally for Buffalo two weeks ago over Cincinnati.

Marshawn Lynch will have further tests Monday on his sprained left ankle, but Bills coach Dick Jauron hopes the rookie running back will play against New England this weekend.

Leading the Bills to consecutive victories is enough for quarterback J.P. Losman to keep the starting job Sunday when Buffalo plays at Miami. Coach Dick Jauron issued a statement Tuesday that he's going with Losman, in what is becoming a weekly announcement regarding the team's revolving door at quarterback. Jauron specifically noted the "outstanding job" Losman did in his past two appearances. Losman went 24-for-34 for 295 yards and a touchdown in a 33-21 win over Cincinnati on Sunday. That followed a solid outing the previous weekend, when Losman produced two fourth-quarter scoring drives in a 13-3 win at the New York Jets in a backup role after rookie starter Trent Edwards sprained his right wrist. The Bills (4-4) have won three straight and four of five despite being unsettled at quarterback.

The league pushed back the start of New England's game at the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 18 to 8:15 P.M. ET, and it will move from CBS to NBC. Originally, Patriots-Bills was set for 1 P.M. ET on CBS, and Chicago at Seattle was the night game. Chicago will now play at Seattle at 4:15 P.M. ET on Fox. The switch comes in the first week of the NFL's flexible television schedule period this season, a new wrinkle in the league's broadcast policy that came into effect last year. The flex schedule was negotiated into the new TV contract to ensure contending teams play in prime time late in the season.
