Bills running back C.J. Spiller is one of three regular starters listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against with the Cleveland Browns. Cornerback Leodis McKelvin (hamstring) was limited in practice all week, while fellow defensive back Jairus Byrd (foot) returned to practice fully over the last two days and joined McKelvin as questionable for Thursday. Source: Sports Network SteveRobWhatever's Take: Bills should be alright with Fred Jackson and Tashard Choice toting the rock. Meanwhile, Jarius Byrd has been gone all year so far so the team's learned to adapt with him. Spiller and McKelvin's game-breaking ability is the biggest loss here for the Bills.
yep, for a short-term basis, jackson is a great option as a back-up. i still think this hurts the bills chances tonight, though. horton has this browns defense clicking already and manuel is going to need all the weapons he can get to help him through this one.
