BUFFALO -
(08/12 09:26am) The Democrat & Chronicle reports HC Mularkey said QB J. P. Losman will
play into the second quarter against the Colts on Saturday. Since he's a first-time starter
in need of work, Losman will see more repetitions in the preseason than a veteran would,
but the coaching staff will be careful not to overexpose him to injury. How long would
Losman like to play? "As long as it takes to feel comfortable," he said. "I don't want to
play an extra amount if I'm doing fine just because I'm young. The coaches will know best."
INDIANAPOLIS -
(08/13 02:46am) The Star reports RB Edgerrin James likely will join 20 or more of his
teammates as spectators tonight. Injuries will keep 20 players, including seven projected
defensive starters, out of action. Personnel decisions by HC Dungy and his staff could add
to the list. "We're going to hold some regulars out," Dungy said. "We'll make those
decisions when we get to the game. "I doubt that Edgerrin will play." "With the way we're
going to break it down, hopefully we can somewhat turn it into four games, especially for
the starters," said QB Peyton Manning, who is expected to play one series before turning
the offense over to Jim Sorgi and Travis Brown.
