If it wasn’t already a foregone conclusion, Trent Edwards’ season and perhaps career as the Buffalo Bills starting quarterback was quietly nailed shut this afternoon. As the Bills returned to practice to prepare for a trip to Kansas City this Sunday, Ryan Fitzpatrick remained as the first string quarterback. As has been the case recently, he took the vast majority of first team reps at practice, a sure fire sign he’ll be under center come Sunday.
It should come as no surprise, though Buffalo Bills head coach Perry Fewell said three weeks ago upon giving the starting job to Fitzpatrick that he gave them the best chance to win that particular game (Jacksonville), and that he would evaluate the starter on a week-to-week basis with the guy he felt was best suited to get the Bills a victory getting the nod.

From the official Indianapolis Colts website.
The Indianapolis Colts have placed sixth-year veteran quarterback Jim Sorgi on Injured Reserve with a shoulder injury and signed fourth-year veteran offensive tackle Michael Toudouze, the club announced Wednesday.
Sorgi, who appeared in one game in 2009, had been inactive/3rd Quarterback since Week 9 vs. New England. In six seasons with the Colts, Sorgi has appeared in 16 games and completed 99 of 156 passes for 929 yards with six touchdowns and one interception for a 89.9 passer rating.
Toudouze originally was a 2006 fifth-round selection out of TCU by the Colts and spent time between the practice squad and active roster during his three years with the club. Toudouze appeared in four games in 2007 and one post-season game in 2008.
The club also made two moves on its practice squad, signing quarterback Drew Willy and waiving quarterback Shane Boyd. Willy, a rookie out of Buffalo, originally signed as a free agent with Baltimore.
When the Buffalo Sabres take the ice tonight at the HSBC arena to play their fourth of five consecutive home games, which team will we be seeing? We will be witnessing the version that peppered opposing goaltenders to the tune of 18 goals over four consecutive victories? Or we will observe a squad that’s mustered exactly one goal in dropping their last two contests?
If the Sabres want any chance of going to bed with two more points in the standings bank, it better be the former. The red-hot Washington Capitals are coming to town on a roll, winning their past six games and sporting a handsome 19-5-6 record on the season, tops in the entire NHL.
Buffalo has been missing oomph in their scoring attack, and lately they’ve been lacking in the toughness department as well. Paul Gaustad has been out with a lower body injury and it got compounded when Mike Grier left the team on Monday to be with his ailing mother. Neither will be in the lineup tonight.
