As of now, the Bills aren’t too sure what the exact hip injury is or how long it will linger.

Said head coach Dick Jauron: “We’re kind of hoping it goes away as quickly as it came.”

This is yet another setback in what has been a very disappointing season so far for Owens. Owens came to Buffalo with a lot of fanfare but has been a bust so far. In eight games, he has only 23 catches for 281 yards and one receiving touchdown. Coming into this season, he had double-digit touchdowns in each of his last three campaigns.

If Owens can’t go on Sunday, expect Lee Evans and Josh Reed to start at wide receiver. Trent Edwards, who has been out of action lately, will return to the starting quarterback role for the Bills.

Terrell Owens Has Mysterious Hip Injury

The Buccaneers will likely start Maurice Stovall at wide receiver next to Michael Clayton. The backup wide receivers will be Sammie Stroughter and Brian Clark. Without the team’s best wideout, quarterback Byron Leftwich will need to spread the ball for the team to have a chance.

Last season, Bryant had 1,248 yards and seven touchdown grabs on 83 catches. In Week 1, he had two catches for 29 yards. The 28-year-old has 335 receptions, 5,114 yards and 26 touchdowns in his career — which goes back to 2002 when he begin his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys.

Clayton, who had five catches for 93 yards in Week 1, may have to be the team’s leading receiver until the time comes that Bryant is totally healthy.

JP Losman - UFL (Image: Zuma Press)

The 28-year-old Losman played his college football at Tulane. For the last five years, he’s played with the Bills. His best season came in 2006 when he played in all 16 games and totaled 3,051 passing yards to go along with 19 touchdowns.

In the last two seasons, Losman has spent most of his time backing up Trent Edwards at quarterback. Last year, he passed for 584 yards and two touchdowns in five games played.

The UFL has been in the news recently for being the possible destination for Michael Vick. If Vick has to sit out this upcoming NFL season, some experts believe that Vick would opt to play in the UFL to prove he can still be a pro quarterback.

Losman will play for the UFL’s Las Vegas squad.

But what if Favre wants to return — but not with the Vikings? Could Brett Favre decide to sign with the Buffalo Bills?

It would also make a lot of sense. In the offseason, the Bills signed Terrell Owens to pair with Lee Evans at wide receiver. And while Trent Edwards is a solid quarterback, he’s not a great fit. Favre has the better arm and could arguably be more equipped to use Owen and Evans to his advantage.

Additionally, the Bills are in a win-now situation. Owens isn’t getting any younger and the fans and management are thirsty for postseason success. Favre would give the team more upside on offense.

Brett Favre to the Buffalo Bills?

However, the local police are now dropping the charges after another man was arrested for exposing himself near the same location. Additionally, the original witness was unable to confirm that it was McIntyre.

Said McIntyre: “I just want to say that I’m happy that my name has been cleared today. I have maintained my innocence all through this process, and I’m just glad it’s out of the way.”

According to police, the new suspect who is being charged with the crime resembles McIntyre due to both being black and both having dreadlocks. That said, McIntyre is said to weight more than 100 pounds more than the new suspect.

“I’m sorry for the embarrassment to my family and to the Bills, and now my focus is on training camp,” said McIntyre, obviously taking the high road in this ordeal. “And that’s all I have to say.”

The 30-year-old McIntyre is entering his second season as a fullback for the Bills.

Charges Against Corey McIntyre Dropped

The talented wide receiver who signed in the offseason with the Buffalo Bills had this to say when asked about leaving Big D:

neither ws i, blame the OC & romo!! but i’m happy 2 b where i am but i miss the other guys tht were & r true teammates!!

For those of you who don’t speak Twitter, the translation into English goes something like this:

“Neither was I. Blame the offensive coordinator (Jason Garrett) and Tony Romo! But I’m happy to be where I am. I miss the other guys that were and are true teammates!!”

Oddly enough, it seemed like Owens got along with Romo about as well as he’s ever gotten along with one of his quarterbacks. And while he had his problems with Garrett, the coach drew up countless plays for T.O. over the last few years.

Oh well … this is just more of Terrell Owens being Terrell Owens. Get used to it, Buffalo.

Drafted out of Virginia Tech, Smith played with the Bills from 1985 to 1999. He then went on to play the final four years of his NFL career with the Washington Redskins. In total, Smith played 279 games and recorded 673 tackles, 200 sacks and 30 forced fumbles. At 6-foot-4 and 265 pounds, Smith is regarded as one of the best defensive ends in NFL history.

Regarding Smith’s driving history, this isn’t the first time he has been charged with a DUI. In 1997, he was charged with a DUI but the case was dismissed. He faced another DUI charge in 2003 but he was acquitted in that case.

Smith has been released on bond.

With starting running back Marshawn Lynch suspended for the first three games of the 2009 NFL season and backup running back Fred Jackson in a contract dispute, the Bills needed a veteran back who could at least be a placeholder. In Rhodes, Buffalo got a running back with big game experience who has been relatively successful the last few seasons.

Last season with the Colts, Rhodes rushed for 538 yards and six touchdowns. In 2006, Rhodes was the starting running back as the Colts won the Super Bowl.

The best year of Rhodes’ career came in his rookie campaign in 2001. That season, he rushed for a career-high 1,104 yards for a career-high nine touchdowns.

Donte Whitner tasered and put under arrest (Image: Newscom)

According to the police statement, Whitner became violent and then police officers tried to restrain him. However, after breaking free, Whitner allegedly got into a fighting stance and was subsequently tasered by police. At that point, the police were able to handcuff him.

Whitner is being charged with resisting arrest and aggravated disorderly conduct. After being released, Whitner apologized to everyone involved in the incident.

The Bills have had to deal with other drama this offseason including Marshawn Lynch getting suspended for three games, Terrell Owens skipping workouts and safety Ko Simpson getting arrested.

This isn’t Whitner’s first brush with the law. In 2006, he was arrested in Buffalo for harassment against his girlfriend.

However, it should be noted that this offseason program is voluntary. In fact, Owens has almost always skipped these programs when with other teams in his NFL career.

Dick Jauron, the coach of the Bills, earlier in the month pubicly expressed his hope that Owens would take part in offseason voluntary events. As of yet, Owens hasn’t made any comment regarding whether he is planning to attend this 12-week program or if he’ll join the team for May’s voluntary minicamps.

The first time Owens’ attendance is mandatory is at the Bills minicamp that begins in June. Until then, no one is quite sure when, or if, Owens will show his face in Buffalo.
