ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills are healthier and refreshed following a much-needed week off. And they may have some new faces in the lineup as they look to make a playoff push over the seasons final seven weeks.The Bills got back to work Monday following their Week 10 bye, with most of their players on the practice field after a first half of the season dominated by injuries.This should be the healthiest weve been in a long time coming back off the bye, and should have a lot of energy and passion, coach Rex Ryan said.Key players such as running back LeSean McCoy, defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and wide receiver Robert Woods were on the practice field after dealing with injuries in recent weeks. So were linebacker Lorenzo Alexander and receiver Marquise Goodwin, among others.The week off came at a good time, guard Richie Incognito said. If youve got little nicks and dings, it gives you a chance to heal those up and it gives you a chance to get ready mentally. A week to get away from it and prioritize and get back up here.One player who did not return was receiver Sammy Watkins. Watkins (foot) was eligible to practice beginning Friday after being placed on injured reserve on Sept. 30. Ryan said Watkins is continuing to make progress but is not yet there.He is eligible to return to practice this week, however, the trainers have said they feel hes not ready to return, Ryan said. I just met with Sammy, Sammy feels fantastic. But were going to be smart with this and well do whats best for him, obviously, and until all our medical people are on board with him coming back there on the field, then were not going to practice him. But when that time occurs, and hopefully that time will occur soon, hell be back out there.Ryan hinted at some personnel changes, specifically pointing to the secondary and the offensive line, with one potential change at cornerback for Buffalos game at Cincinnati. Second-year cornerback Ronald Darby was benched in the loss to Seattle and he did not work with the first unit during the portion of practice open to the media Monday. In his place was fifth-year pro Corey White, who replaced Darby against Seattle.After practice, White told reporters he and Darby split reps in practice and that its considered an open competition.Well see, White said. Right now were just competing in practice and well see who starts on Sunday.The Bills will have a new center for the remainder of the season after veteran Eric Wood broke a leg against Seattle. Ryan Groy replaced Wood against the Seahawks and will compete with Patrick Lewis for the job.That may not be the only change on Buffalos offensive line. Ryan is encouraged by the progress of former starter Seantrel Henderson. Henderson started in each of the past two seasons for Buffalo at right tackle but has yet to make it all the way back after being diagnosed with Crohns disease late last season. Henderson was significantly underweight because of the disease and also missed the first four games of the year due to a suspension.Im encouraged right now the way he practiced, especially last week, Ryan said. That was the guy that I remember, a special athlete. So hopefully he can continue that way. I was really encouraged with how he looked last week.The Bills (4-5) must quickly make up ground after slipping in the standings. After three straight losses, the Bills are 11th in the AFC, third in their division.We were all on empty ... but now I feel like were healthy and feeling good and we ought to be rolling now, Ryan said.Game notesThe Bills placed Eric Wood on injured reserve late Monday afternoon and promoted cornerback Marcus Roberson from the practice squad. Roberson, 24, has spent time on both Buffalos practice squad and active roster this season. Buffalo also signed center Dalton Freeman to the practice squad.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAdidas Nmd Levne Cz .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me.

Jackson missed the first 21 games this season recovering from left knee tendinitis.Thats the player he can be, said teammate Jon Leuer, who scored a season-high 19 points. Thats the player we need him to be because he is a great floor general and a good leader for us.Leuer was a plus-25 off the bench as the Pistons beat the team with the worst record in the Western Conference three nights after losing to Philadelphia, the last-place team in the East.Drummond grabbed 10 rebounds in the first 7 1/2 minutes and the Pistons had a 29-9 edge on the boards at halftime and 50-30 for the game.

Deron Williams scored 16 but was just 3 of 13 as one of the NBAs worst-shooting teams finished at 41 percent, just below its average.This one was frustrating tonight because we had control of the game for most of it, Matthews said.

Dallas is already missing starter Andrew Bogut with a right knee injury, and theres no timetable for his return.Star forward Dirk Nowitzki missed his 10th straight game and 18th out of 20 with a strained right Achilles tendon. Key backup guard J.J. Barea missed his 15th straight with a left calf strain.HOW WAS IT TIED?The Pistons were tied 43-all at halftime despite the huge rebounding edge and holding two Dallas starters scoreless, in part because of 13 turnovers to just three for the Mavericks. Besides the turnovers, even the ones we didnt turn the ball over, we had a lot of sloppy possessions that we didnt get good shots because we didnt handle the ball well, coach Stan Van Gundy said.UP NEXTPistons: Friday at Washington, where Detroit has lost four straight games.Mavericks: Friday at Utah, where Dallas lost 97-81 to drop to 0-4 on the way to a franchise-worst 0-5 start.
