Here are the most interesting stories Wednesday in the AFC East:
  • New York Jets wideout Santonio Holmes (foot) is expected to miss the rest of the season. Should the Jets sign a big-name receiver?
Morning take: Plaxico Burress, Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens are all risky investments. None of those players are good enough to save the Jets -- and each brings his share of distractions.
Morning take: Williams has just 1.5 sacks in four games and hasn't been the impact player many expected. But it's a long season -- Williams and the Bills (2-2) still have time to get it together.
Morning take: The Dolphins are playing hard and there's no reason to apologize -- they're making it hard on opponents every week. Another tough game, against the Cincinnati Bengals, awaits.
Morning take: Carpenter was a surprise cut in training camp. But an injury to rookie linebacker Dont’a Hightower provides an opportunity.
