Orchard Park, NY (My Sportsbook) - Buffalo Bills head coach Dick Jauron said on Monday that quarterback Trent Edwards will have an examination later in the day to determine the extent of a head injury he suffered in Sunday's 16-13 overtime win against the New York Jets. Jauron had used the term concussion on Sunday to describe the injury, which Edwards suffered in the second quarter, but said that an examination will yield a better diagnosis. "Trent and Shawn (Nelson) both had head injuries that are being further examined today and we'll know more as we get on through the week," said Jauron. Facing a 3rd-and-2 at the Buffalo 43, Edwards dropped back and was sacked by Calvin Pace and David Harris. Edwards' body twisted in a weird way as he went to the ground. Edwards remained on the ground for a few minutes before being helped to the locker room by the training staff. Edwards seemed to be woozy as he slowly walked to the locker room. Ryan Fitzpatrick took over the QB duties for the Bills. Edwards completed 5- of-5 passes for 43 yards before getting injured. Fitzpatrick ended 10-of-25 for 116 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Edwards was not the only Buffalo player to suffer injury during Sunday's win as defensive tackle Kyle Williams (shoulder), safety Donte Whitner (ankle) and tight end Nelson (concussion) each were forced from the game and did not return.
