Who's hot: DE Aaron Schobel, the older brother of Eagles TE Matt Schobel, has registered a sack in each of his last four games. . . . Rookie RB Marshawn Lynch, despite missing three games, went over 1,000 yards for the season last week against the New York Giants. . . . WR Lee Evans has three TD catches in his last three games after pulling in just two TD passes in the team's first 12 games.
Who's not: Trent Edwards, the rookie quarterback who has taken over for J.P. Losman, has completed just 22 of 59 passes for 285 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in his last two games.
Local ties: Former Eagles Justin Jenkins (WR) and Dustin Fox (CB) are contributing on special teams for the Bills. . . . Bryan Scott, from Central Bucks West High and Penn State, is a reserve safety who may get a start in the Bills' much-depleted secondary. . . . Villanova product Christian Gaddis is a reserve offensive lineman. . . . Former Eagles general manager Tom Modrak is the Bills' director of college scouting.
Who's hurting: Pro Bowl LT Jason Peters (groin), S Donte Whitner (flu), DE Copeland Bryan (knee) and LB Coy Wire (neck) will not play. WR Josh Reed (sore lower back) is questionable.
