NFL: Bills QB Losman will start again vs. Jacksonville

Advertiser Staff

Quarterback J.P. Losman will get his fourth straight start at Jacksonville on Sunday, when Buffalo could again be without top offensive threat Marshawn Lynch.

Coach Dick Jauron said today that while he wouldn't count out Lynch, he's not optimistic the rookie running back will be fully healed from a severely sprained left ankle.

"I don't want to discount him ever," Jauron said. "But it is a substantial sprain and injury."

That's potentially bad news for the Bills (5-5), who are trying to rebound from a 56-10 loss to New England yesterday and hoping to stay in the AFC playoff hunt.

Jauron said Lynch, who was hurt in a 13-10 win at Miami on Nov. 11, was still wearing a protective boot through last weekend.

Despite missing the game against the Patriots, Lynch still ranks eighth in the NFL with 751 yards rushing and leads the Bills with six touchdowns. With a touchdown passing, Lynch has had a hand in seven of 11 TDs produced by Buffalo's offense this season.
