The Buffalo Bills' secondary looks to finally be getting a couple bodies back. Well, maybe one and a half.
Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd will finally make his season debut, and cornerback Stephon Gilmore could be on his way back as well, but if so, he'll play with a heavily-wrapped, club-like protective bandage, which would still be an improvement for a secondary that's given up nearly 300 yards through the air the last three games.
Running back Fred Jackson seems to be back in full after a meddlesome knee injury last week, while the same can't be said for C.J. Spiller, who is questionable with a lingering ankle sprain but will likely play. Guard Doug Legursky will return this weekend after missing the first five weeks with a knee injury, and the inexperienced Thad Lewis will call signals in place of rookie E.J. Manuel. Here's the full slate of injuries:

Ron Brooks (foot), Dustin Hopkins (groin), E.J. Manuel, (knee).

Stephon Gilmore (wrist), Stevie Johnson (back/non-injury), C.J. Spiller (ankle).
