If you’re wondering what the extent of Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Langston Walker’s injured left arm is, rest assured it’s just a bruise according to head coach Dick Jauron’s postgame presser following an impressive 20-7 preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts tonight:
“Langston had a bad bruise. We took him in for x-rays and the x-rays were negative so we’re optimistic. He got wacked by something and it was either one of them or one of us that hit him. I think it might have been one of us, which is nobody’s fault. It happens.”
Langston is so big (he’s 6′8″ and 366 pounds), I don’t know how anything could hurt him. The initial injury report had coach Jauron telling NFL Network’s Adam Schefter the injury was “not a good one.” Naturally, with left tackle Jason Peters still a holdout, this statement had Bills fans in an uproar. Coach Jauron was hesitant to say that Langston would be ready for the home opener in 13 days, but according to BuffaloBills.com, it’s believed he will be fit to play come September 7. Whether or not Jason Peters will be joining him is TBD.
