That's pretty shortsighted. As NoSaint wrote in the Jonathan Martin/AWOL thread:

I'd heard the same. In fact, apparently Martin told Incognito as much the other day via text--- but then this: @nfldraftscout: Garafolo: "Multiple sources told me Martin's camp informed Dolphins and NFLPA that Incognito sent threatening and racially charged texts" @MikeGarafolo: From @FOXSportsLive - Jonathan Martin's camp alleges threatening/racially charged messages from Richie Incognito: http://t.co/tjgJ4U0FSE

Jeff Darlington ‏@JeffDarlington2m Richie Incognito was advised by Joe Philbin tonight he has been indefinitely suspended by team while NFL investigates, Incognito tells me.

"Per a league source, Lewis is expected to play on Sunday, despite the missed practice. It remains to be seen whether he’ll practice on Thursday, or whether Jeff Tuel and Matt Flynn will again split reps." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/30/thad-lewis-should-be-good-to-go-on-sunday/

This unfortunate situation coupled with reports this week of Dolphin's offensive players openly questioning the offensive gameplanning and philosophy is a sign the wheels are coming off. It's no wonder Miami is mired in a losing streak. I wouldn't be surprised that if the Dolphins fire the coaching staff and bring in a new group, Lamar Miller becomes the star in 2014 he appeared destined to be this year.

I guess what I mean is--- he was not considered a particularly safe pick even if he was viewed as a 1st rounder. I know there was plenty of debate on how risky he was versus other prospects, like Orakpo.

There were a lot of flags around Maybin, mostly related to his size/build and relative experience. Obviously, more than a few of the big time draft pundits felt he was 1st round material but I don't think it was necessarily universal.

Why did it take this long to diagnose it as a high ankle sprain, or did the Bills just not publicly acknowledge it until now? Is it not as severe as most high ankle sprains? Typically a RB should be shut down immediately and the recovery time frame is 4-6 weeks.

Unbelievable. After all that, the Bills gained about 20 yards in field position and probably a dose of confidence for the D.

Sal Capaccio ‏@SalSports 25s Terrific gesture. RT @gggaughan Saints PR has left a seat in the press box for Larry Felser. The Big Easy was Larry's favorite town on road

@PrimeSN590: Argos GM Barker says former All-American Aaron Maybin "will hopefully start practicing with us this week."

It's been confirmed that Flynn is in town and will meet with the Bills on Monday. It's not a question. Not sure, though maybe he had a connecting flight... the Wild played in St. Paul on Saturday night and are in Buffalo for a game against the Sabres on Monday night. Why Flynn shared a flight with the 2 writers out of Minnesota isn't clear, but that's the only connection at the moment.

Schefter confirms: Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 34m Former Seahawks and Raiders QB Matt Flynn is in Buffalo, there to work out for Bills, via @mikerodak and me.

That makes close to zero sense for the Bills.

Jeff Russo ‏@JeffRussoWKBW19s #Bills Thad Lewis says he has a sprained foot.. Xrays negative

Jeff Russo ‏@JeffRussoWKBW21s #Bills Thad Lewis.. Tested injury.. Checked out fine. Should be fine. Obvious limp walking to podium.

Jene Bramel ‏@JeneBramel 1m Bills listing Stephon Gilmore as starting corner, with Byrd/Williams starting at safety. Also have Bradham over Moats at LB.

Buffalo Bills ‏@buffalobills 42s Doug Legursky will start at LG for the #Bills Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak 1m Bills announce that Doug Legursky will start at left guard. Bills expected to rotate him and Colin Brown today.

Joe Buscaglia ‏@JoeBuscaglia 41s Gilmore playing, Stevie Johnson will not play Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak 57s Stephon Gilmore and Jairus Byrd are both active for the Bills for the first time this season

Buffalo Bills ‏@buffalobills 1m #Bills WR Stevie Johnson is inactive #CINvsBUF

Although his numbers are very good, can it really be considered a "career" year? Through 5 weeks in 2011 he was at or near the top of every statistical category by which RBs are measured.

I got the text from the Bils app--- when it started: "Ralph Wilson, Jr. has guaranteed the purchase...", for a split second, my heart started racing.
