ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -The Buffalo Bills expect to promote James Hardy to their active roster because the second-year receiver has shown he's fully recovered 10 months after having left knee surgery. Barring ``something unexpected,'' coach Dick Jauron said Monday he's leaning toward promoting Hardy, who spent the first six weeks on the physically unable to perform list. The 2008 second-round draft pick out of Indiana began practicing two weeks ago. The Bills (3-5) enter their bye and have until the start of next week to activate Hardy or place him on season-ending injured reserve. Promoting Hardy would require the Bills to drop a player, potentially one of the six receivers currently on their roster.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
