You can snicker at Ryan Fitzpatrick all you want, but the kid from Harvard is no joke as an NFL quarterback. I don’t think the Bills need to search out their quarterback of the future. For now, they’ve found their answer in Fitzpatrick.

Vince Young, Colt McCoy and Vernon Davis were among the players who suffered injuries in Week 11. Here’s a bullet-look at injuries around the league.

A recap of the notable injuries from Week 10.

Bills RBs Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson were back on the practice field Tuesday.

It’s the morning after … nine games were on the NFL preseason slate on Saturday night, so let’s take a bullet-point look on thoughts and observations from around the league.

Don’t get on Chan Gailey’s bad side. And don’t heckle his players. That will get you on his bad side.

Bills coach Chan Gailey told the team’s official Web site that he expects rookie RB C.J. Spiller to get a lot of reps against the defending AFC champions on Thursday night.

Marshawn Lynch, the subject of trade rumors throughout the offseason, denied to reporters Tuesday that he’s asked to be traded, but didn’t exactly endorse his current situation when asked if he wanted to stay in Buffalo, either.

A trade of Marshawn Lynch to the Seahawks would no doubt benefit his fantasy value, but the big winner would be Fred Jackson in Buffalo.

Marshawn Lynch still isn’t a part of the organized team activities taking place in Buffalo.

Marshawn Lynch has not reported to voluntary OTAs with the Bills. No-nonsense coach Chan Gailey doesn’t sound too pleased about it.

One of the noteworthy offseason position battles got started Tuesday in Buffalo, where Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Brohm and Levi Brown took part in the first day of the Bills’ QB competition.
