Bills SS Whitner returns to practice
Strong safety Donte Whitner returned to practice Wednesday, creating the chance the Buffalo Bills’ defensive leader will be ready to play against San Francisco this weekend.
Coach Dick Jauron said he’ll have a better idea of Whitner’s status after the team practices in pads on Thursday. Whitner missed a 54-31 win at Kansas City last weekend, and has been in action for only two quarters over the past three games since separating his right shoulder in a 26-17 loss to the New York Jets on Nov. 2.
