    The Buffalo Bills will have Mario Williams on the field Sunday when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots unleash their new-look offense at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

    Buffalo's highly paid pass rusher missed about a week of training camp with a foot injury that since has been diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport was told by two sources informed of the injury.

    It's a painful injury to play through, but Williams will endure it Sunday in a matchup that will pit him against New England's reliable right tackle Sebastian Vollmer.

    Mike Pettine is one of the league's more creative coordinators -- full games will pass without Pettine dialing up the same combination of players up front -- but he's short-handed on playmakers. Williams has been a somewhat frustrating presence for the Bills, but he's still their best chance to cause headaches for opposing quarterbacks.
