QB Ryan Fitzpatrick limited in practice

Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was limited in practice for the second straight day with a chest injury. He took a big�hit in last week's win over the Washington Redskins�but finished the game.

Fitzpatrick will play Sunday in a huge AFC East matchup against the New York Jets. But his limited participation two days in a row should be a little concerning. It shows Fitzpatrick is not 100-percent recovered from the big blow he�received after throwing a screen pass to running back Fred Jackson.

Fitzpatrick joked about the hit after�last Sunday's game.

"I thought, 'Boy, Toronto really doesn't like me,'" Fitzpatrick said of the crowd's cheers�during the screen play. "I didn't know [Jackson] broke the tackle and ran down the sideline. So I said, 'That's a lot of excitement for a quarterback getting hit.'"

The Jets bring heavy pressure. So keep an eye on Fitzpatrick's chest injury.

Here are some other injury notes on the Bills and Jets:
  • Buffalo offensive tackle Demetrius Bell (shoulder) missed his second straight practice and probably will miss Sunday's game. Fellow offensive tackle Chris Hairston (ankle) is practicing on a limited basis and has a better shot of returning.
  • The Jets are much healthier coming off the bye. Everyone practiced Thursday. But receiver Plaxico Burress (back) and defensive linemen Mike Devito (knee) and Kendrick Ellis (ankle) were limited.
