ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – Though Buffalo Bills starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor has a sprained left knee, coach Rex Ryan won’t entirely rule him out from playing against Cincinnati on Sunday.
Ryan provided the update before the team’s practice on Wednesday. Ryan said Taylor would practice on a limited basis, with backup EJ Manuel taking a majority of the snaps.
Ryan disputed reports that Taylor could miss as many as three weeks because of the injury.
“That’s news to me. That may or may not be the case,” Ryan said. “It’s certainly not official. So we’ll see how it goes.”
If Taylor can’t play against the Bengals (5-0), Manuel will make his first start in more than a year. The Bills (3-2), who traded veteran Matt Cassel to Dallas three weeks ago, addressed their depth at quarterback by signing six-year journeyman Josh Johnson on Tuesday.
