Bad news for Whitner, McKelvin

Bills safety Donte Whitner and cornerback Leodis McKelvin have had a rough season.  After last week’s game Whitner learned that he had been robbed of $400,000 worth of jewelry.  McKelvin arrived home from the regular-season opener and found that his lawn had been vandalized by Stefan Djorjevic and friends.

According to the Buffalo News, McKelvin suffered a broken leg during Sunday’s loss to the Saints, and Whitner will need surgery on his thumb.

Whitner’s availability is expected to be determined on a week-to-week basis.  McKelvin will be out longer.

And that’s bad news for a Bills team that will need all the help it can muster in order to avoid losing to the Dolphins on Sunday and sliding into the basement of the AFC East.

    CBS Sportsline is claiming that another Bills DB, S Bryan Scott, will likely miss the Miami game with an undisclosed injury. Got any word on that one?

    I’m surprised you didn’t spin this into a story about Whitner injuring his thumb while strking McKelvin in the leg with a pipe after finding out that McKelvin stole his jewelry.
    Yes, I’m piling on.

    Hey McKelvin, if you need help healing faster, I hear Rodney Harrison is sending some stuff to T.O. that might help.

    Who the hell is McLovin ?

    I heard the Patriots offered to pay for McKelvin to see the best possible specialists, hoping he will be back in uniform by the time they play the Bills again. They need another gift win.

    A crappy Bills secondary should help Henne look good & finally get the Fins a win!!! GO FINS!!!

    So the Bills expect to be without starting CB McKelvin and starting FS Whitner, but do not forget that they will also be without starting RT Brad Butler (out for the year on IR), starting TE Derek Schouman (out of the year on IR), starting MLB Paul Posluszny (out with broken arm), backup MLB John DiGiorgio (out of the year on IR) and possibly without several other starters including LT Demetrius Bell and TE Shawn Nelson. At least they will have Marshawn Lynch for the first time this year.

    $400,000 in jewelry? left in his home unprotected? in a city that it was already announced a teamates home was vandalized?
