Jauron "not particularly optimistic" about Lynch

We've just wrapped our conference calls with Buffalo head coach Dick Jauron and quarterback J.P. Losman, and when Jauron was asked about rookie running back Marshawn Lynch, who sprained his left ankle Sunday in Miami.

"He's really sore," Jauron said. "We're not particularly optimistic" that he'll play against the Patriots.

Losman was asked about the teams' first meeting, when Vince Wilfork tumbled onto his knee on the Bills' first play of the game. His voice immediately dropped when asked about it.

"I don't know...it's football. It's a rough game. No one wishes for those things to happen."

Losman said he has not been contacted by Wilfork, but also that he has no hard feelings toward the nose tackle. When asked about his comments in the wake of the hit that Wilfork's $12,500 fine wasn't enough, Losman explained that he felt it wasn't enough if it had been ruled a dirty hit.

Wilfork maintains that it was an accident.
