ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — With Ryan Fitzpatrick and Trent Edwards hobbling, the Bills may be forced to see what they have in third-stringer Brian Brohm.

Signed to a two-year contract by Buffalo two days after former head coach Dick Jauron was fired in November, Brohm could get the call this week when Buffalo (5-9) travels to Atlanta to play the Falcons (7-7). Both Fitzpatrick and Edwards had ankle injuries in Buffalo’s 17-10 loss to New England on Sunday.
Edwards was hurt after relieving an ineffective Fitzpatrick for one series early in the fourth quarter against the Patriots. Fitzpatrick was injured soon after he returned. Buffalo interim coach Perry Fewell said he didn’t yet know the severity of the injuries.
Both players were unavailable on Monday.
