Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens, who missed practice on Thursday and Friday due to illness, has been listed as questionable for Sunday’s home tilt with the New England Patriots.
Owens, who has 45 receptions for 705 yards and 4 touchdowns on the season, is Buffalo’s leading receiver. The upset-minded Bills would likely be forced to start Josh Reed next to veteran Lee Evans on Sunday if Owens can’t go. Owens was in team meetings on Friday, reports BuffaloBills.com, and Owens has been listed as questionable and played in games earlier this season.

After missing nearly ten months of football, 2008 second round draft pick James Hardy officially returns to the Buffalo Bills this week. Barring a last minute setback at practice over the next few days, Hardy will be taken off the PUP list and added to the active 53-man roster.
The Bills have a lot invested in Hardy, including the high draft selection last year. They are eager to find out what they have in the former Indiana University star, as his rookie season last year is hardly enough to evaluate his future.
With Josh Reed and Terrell Owens both scheduled to become free agents after the year, the Bills will get him as much work as he can handle, which will help them evaluate what they’ll do at the position over the winter. Hardy caught 9 passes for 87 yards and 2 touchdowns last year before tearing up his right knee.

I’ve learned today that the Bills tentative plan this week is to release wide receiver Justin Jenkins in order to make room on the roster for Marshawn Lynch.
While he was suspended for three games Lynch was not part of the 53-man roster. His return means the Bills will have to clear a spot for him on the 53, and a source tells me that person is Jenkins. A move will have to be made by Thursday at the latest.
His stay of execution however could come if the Leodis McKelvin fractured bone in his leg could cause the team to put him on injured reserve. I’m told that although head coach Dick Jauron didn’t say so, there’s a good chance
McKelvin can be gone for a long period. It’s highly unlikely they will occupy a roster spot for him if he’s to miss more than four-to-six weeks when the team is deep at the position.
