| Jason Peters on his return: "I love playing football, and that's why I came back." |
The Buffalo Bills have activated LT Jason Peters to their 53-man roster, clearing the way for the Pro Bowler to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
To make room, the Bills waived OL/TE Matt Murphy.
Peters missed all voluntary workouts, mandatory minicamp and training camp because of a contract dispute that still hasn't been resolved. He reported to the team a week ago so that he wouldn't miss his $191,000 game checks.
"I got a great love for the game," Peters said earlier this week "Some guys do it for the check, but I got the love for the game, and, obviously, I sat out for my situation for my family. But I love playing football, and that's why I came back."
Mmm-hmm.
His return puts two pillars in their proper places. Peters will protect QB Trent Edwards' blind side, allowing Langston Walker to switch back to the right side, where he played last season.
