NFL: Concussion prevents QB Edwards from practicing


By JOHN WAWROW

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards missed practice days after sustaining a concussion, making backup Ryan Fitzpatrick the likely starter at Carolina this weekend.

Though Dick Jauron didn’t rule out Edwards, the coach on Wednesday said the quarterback was recuperating at home and did not attend team meetings.
The third-year starter was knocked out while being sacked early in the second quarter of a 16-13 overtime win at the New York Jets on Sunday.
Fitzpatrick was inconsistent playing in windy conditions, going 10 of 25 for 116 yards with a touchdown and an interception. But he led the Bills on three scoring drives to overcome a 13-3 deficit.
