Peters

Considerable trepidation existed within the Buffalo Bills locker room and in the front office over whether Pro Bowl LT Jason Peters' holdout would retard his integration into their new offense.

Peters dismissed that theory as nonsense.

Peters, who missed all voluntary workouts, minicamp, training camp and every preseason game, has declared himself ready to go after a few days of practice. He reported to camp last Saturday and didn't play in the season-opening victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

"I'm 100 percent comfortable," Peters said Friday. "I know all of the plays, all of the checks, all of the audibles, the snap counts, the cadences, no-huddle plays. I know all of that."

Peters' return would bolster Buffalo's line in two places. Langston Walker, who had been filling in as QB Trent Edwards' blindside protector, would move back to his usual RT spot.

Bills coach Dick Jauron was noncommittal about Peters' participation in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

But based on Peters' reps in practice this week, he seems to think he'll play.

"Most likely I probably will be, but it's [Jauron's] decision," Peters said. "Hopefully, he'll activate me. But if not, I'll just prep myself to get ready for Oakland."
