Spiller Out, Mingo In

Bills RB C.J. Spiller will be inactive for Sunday's game
against the Saints.
The Buffalo Bills made some roster moves this morning after head coach Doug Marrone announced starting running back C.J. Spiller will not play this Sunday at the Saints (ankle). 

With running back Fred Jackson banged up and uncertainty with running back Tashard Choice, Buffalo was in search for a third back. The front office didn't look too far for a replacement, as they called up running back Ronnie Wingo from the practice squad. Mingo comes in as an underrated free agent who was released by the Atlanta Falcons early in the season. The former Arkansas Razorback will likely see some NFL action for the first time due to the health of Jackson. 

To make room for Mingo on the 53-man roster, the Bills released cornerback Brandon Burton.

On the other side, New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Grahm and defensive end Cameron Jordan practiced today with limited reps. Both were updated to questionable for Sunday's matchup.

Buffalo is looking to win back to back road games for the first time since the 2009 campaign (weeks 6 & 7).
