Turns out that Denver isn’t the only team missing its best defensive players. Buffalo is, too.

Bills coach Dick Jauron confirmed that safety Donte Whitner has a separated shoulder that will sideline him indefinitely, and the injury to Bills Pro Bowl defensive end Aaron Schobel might be worse.

Football traditionalists will like this one.

Just as the Browns will not incur any fines for their physical play Sunday against the Ravens, Bills safety Donte Whitner will not be fined for his late tackle on Oakland wide receiver Johnnie Lee Higgins, who began showboating before he entered the end zone on his 84-yard touchdown catch.
