PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Kyle Williams was so eager to practice for the first time in 10 months, the Buffalo Bills defensive tackle jumped offside on his third play from scrimmage.I think being out there and being excited to be back definitely played a role in that, Williams said Monday, before playfully blaming offensive coordinator Greg Roman. I think Roman did it on purpose with a hard count on first down being a jerk.Clearly joking, the 11-year veteran had reason to be upbeat following his first time back on the field since sustaining a season-ending left knee injury last October.The most uncomfortable thing was putting on my shoulder pads this morning, said Williams, who was cleared for practice after passing his physical.And then there was linebacker Brandon Spikes, who sat out last season and is getting a second chance at resuming his career after signing with the Bills on Sunday.I had to re-evaluate my life, get my priorities in order, said Spikes, who was sentenced to a year of probation in July 2015 after pleading guilty in a hit-and-run crash in which three people suffered minor injuries. The crash led to Spikes being released by New England after spending the 2014 season in Buffalo.I think I became a little complacent, and Ive never been that type of guy, said Spikes, who acknowledged that he perhaps should have re-signed with the Bills last year.Thats in the past. Im moving forward, he said. Im here to help this team, these younger guys and me personally get better.Newcomers and the return of familiar faces highlighted the day for the Bills, who resumed training camp in suburban Rochester following a day off.Also passing their physicals were starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and No. 1 receiver Sammy Watkins.Dareus missed the first 10 days of camp because of an undisclosed illness. Watkins was cleared four months after having surgery to repair a broken left foot.And Spikes wasnt the only newcomer to hit the field. The Bills on Sunday also signed linebacker David Hawthorne and tight end Jimmy Mundane.The defensive additions were prompted after rookie second-round draft pick Reggie Ragland injured his left knee on Friday.Coach Rex Ryan was still unable to provide a definitive update on the severity of the injury because he said the swelling in Raglands knee has not yet subsided.General manager Doug Whaley told The Associated Press that Ragland was scheduled to have follow-up tests within the next two days.The Bills were counting on Ragland and first-round pick, outside linebacker Shaq Lawson, to start this season.Lawson, however, had shoulder surgery in May and is projected to miss at least the first month of the season. Lawsons backup, Manny Lawson, isnt practicing either, and expected to miss the entire preseason with a torn pectoral muscle.As a result of injuries, the Bills havent had their projected starting 11 defenders on the field at the same time once this offseason.Thats a concern especially for a unit that was rebuilt this offseason to better suit Ryans philosophy after the defense underperformed last season. In Ryans first year as coach, Buffalo ranked 20th in the NFL in yards allowed and managed 21 sacks, a franchise low for a 16-game season.Ryan isnt worried.Well be where we want to go, Ryan said. I think by the time we kick it off for real, we should be in good shape.Williams expressed concern, wondering how the lack of practice time might hinder the younger players development.I dont think theres any denying its tough, because theyre young guys, theyre rookies, Williams said. They need as many reps as they can get.Game notes LT Cordy Glenn didnt practice after hurting his left ankle on Saturday. ... RG Richie Incognito left practice with bruised ribs.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Trevor Story Jersey . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan. Jon Gray Jersey . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. http://www.rockiesgearproshop.com/Rockies-David-Dahl-Kids-Jersey/ .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. Kyle Freeland Jersey . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. Carlos Gonzalez Jersey . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. For the first time this season, the top three teams remain unchanged from their positions the previous week in ESPNs NFL Power Rankings. ESPNs power panel (a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities) left Dallas as the No. 1-ranked team, Seattle at No. 2 and New England at No. 3.The Raiders, who beat Houston 27-20 on Monday night in Mexico City, moved up two spots to break into the top five. The Giants made the biggest positive leap this week, jumping up to No. 6 from No. 16 in the Week 11 rankings.Methodology note: These rankings reflect which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups. Higher-ranked teams would be favored against lower-ranked teams. Coming off a win doesnt guarantee a jump, and coming off a loss doesnt guarantee a fall.Check out the rest of the league and where each team ranks.Previous rankings: Week 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | PreseasonESPN Stats & Information contributed the following research.1. Dallas Cowboys2016 record: 9-1 | Week 11 ranking: 1The Cowboys enter their Thanksgiving game riding the longest single-season winning streak in franchise history. Give thanks to Dak Prescott, who has completed an NFL-best 78.8 percent of his passes in the fourth quarter and overtime since Week 2, including completions on 24 of his past 26 attempts.2. Seattle Seahawks2016 record: 7-2-1 | Week 11 ranking: 2The Seahawks rushed for a season-high 152 yards Sunday after averaging less than half that (77.7 per game) entering the week, despite the dearth of healthy running backs. With an injured C.J. Prosise out for an extended period of time, Thomas Rawls likely reclaims the starting running back job this week in Tampa.3. New England Patriots2016 record: 8-2 | Week 11 ranking: 3Including playoffs, QB Tom Brady won career game No. 199 in San Francisco this past week, tying him with Brett Favre for second most all time. A win this week against the Jets would tie Brady with a familiar face, Peyton Manning, for most all time.4. Oakland Raiders2016 record: 8-2 | Week 11 ranking: 6Just win, baby. Thats all the Raiders seem to know how to do anymore, improving to 8-2 behind a fourth-quarter comeback fueled by two Derek Carr touchdown passes. Carr now has nine touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and overtime this season, tied for second most in the NFL. The visiting Panthers are up next.5. Denver Broncos2016 record: 7-3 | Week 11 ranking: 4The Broncos offense has been underwhelming this season, averaging just 1.79 points per drive (18th in the NFL). Thats actually an improvement over last season though, when they averaged 1.56 per drive (24th). The Chiefs await in Week 12.6. New York Giants2016 record: 7-3 | Week 11 ranking: 16Have the Giants ever fallen this far under the radar? They have the second-longest active winning streak in the NFL (five games, tied with the Dolphins) and have a great chance to extend the streak this week against the winless Browns.7. Kansas City Chiefs2016 record: 7-3 | Week 11 ranking: 5Alex Smith has as many touchdown passes as Case Keenum this season (nine). Let that sink in for a moment, because the Chiefs are 7-3 this season (6-3 when Smith starts). Who knows how good theyd be if they had better quarterback play? Smith will need to be good this week against the Broncos stout defense.8. Atlanta Falcons2016 record: 6-4 | Week 11 ranking: 7The Falcons are the only team averaging more than 30 points per game this season, but that offense is about to be put to the test. Atlantas next three games are against the Cardinals, Chiefs and Rams, who all rank top 10 in fewest points allowed this season.9. Washington Redskins2016 record: 6-3-1 | Week 11 ranking: 11The Redskins are 6-1-1 since losing their first two games of the season. That .813 winning percentage since Week 3 is tied for third best in the NFL. One of the teams thats better? The Cowboys, who Washington hopes to upend on Thanksgiving.10. Detroit Lions2016 record: 6-4 | Week 11 ranking: 12Some will likely be at dinner or already deep in a post-dinner nap when the Vikings-Lions game comes to an end on Thanksgiving, but sneak a peek when you can, because youll likely catch a wild comeback. The Lions have trailed in the fourth quarter of every game this season, yet they sit at 6-4 overall.11. Miami Dolphins2016 record: 6-4 | Week 11 ranking: 17The Dolphins have won five straight, but each of their past four wins has come after trailing in the fourth quarter. Hows this for Florida ties? According to Elias Sports Bureau, Tim Tebows 2011 Denver squad was the last team to win four straight despite trailing in the fourth quarter of each game.12. Minnesota Vikings2016 record: 6-4 | Week 11 ranking: 15The Vikings have played three games this season in which the defense and special teams scored as many (or more) touchdowns as the offense. Thats great for the defense and special teams but not a ringing endorsement for the offense. The NFC North lead is on the line in Detroit on Thanksgiving.13. Pittsburgh Steelers2016 record: 5-5 | Week 11 ranking: 9Theres no remedy for a losing streak like a win against the Browns, at least for QB Ben Roethlisberger, who is now 20-2 lifetime against Cleveland. Up next is another favorite for Roethlisberger: the Colts. Forget the tackle, the Steelers QB has 10 touchdowns with no picks in his past two games against Indy.14. Baltimore Ravens2016 record: 5-5 | Week 11 ranking: 13The AFC North is underwhelming this season, which is why at 5-5, the Ravens sit atop the division. But three of the Ravens five wins have come against the Browns and Jaguars, who are a combined 2-19 this season. The Bengals are only 3-6-1 but should provide a tougher test this week.15. Philadelphia Eagles2016 record: 5-5 | Week 11 ranking: 8Less than 11 months ago, QB Carson Wentz was battling Jaccksonville State.dddddddddddd Now hes coming off a battle with The Legion of Boom. Wentz may be coming down to earth, but remember, he is still a rookie. Hell have a chance to pad his stats against the depleted Packers secondary on Monday night.16. Houston Texans2016 record: 6-4 | Week 11 ranking: 14Maybe Dr. Evil is a Raiders fan? Not ideal for laser pointers to be directed toward QB Brock Osweilers gaze, but shenanigans aside, the Texans blew their first fourth-quarter lead of the season Monday night and lost their first one-possession game. Houston returns home to host the Chargers in Week 12.17. Buffalo Bills2016 record: 5-5 | Week 11 ranking: 21The Bills actually boast the top rushing offense in the NFL, leading in yards per game, yards per rush and touchdowns, which has kept the team in the playoff hunt. The Bills will look to run all over the Jaguars to get back over .500 this week.18. Indianapolis Colts2016 record: 5-5 | Week 11 ranking: 27The Colts like to make things interesting, and that was on full display this past week after they nearly blew a 21-point lead against the Titans. The Colts held on and now look to win three straight when they host Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving night.19. Tennessee Titans2016 record: 5-6 | Week 11 ranking: 19The Titans have lost when they were 0-0, 1-1, 3-3, 4-4 and 5-5 this season, seemingly unable to get over the .500 hump. No team has had more chances to go over .500 this season, and no team has lost more chances. The Titans hope to get back to .500 this week at Chicago.20. Carolina Panthers2016 record: 4-6 | Week 11 ranking: 24The Panthers have won three of their past four and, at 4-6, arent far behind the division-leading Falcons at 6-4. NFL FPI gives the Panthers only a 5.5 percent chance of making the playoffs, but stranger things have happened. Carolina hopes to get its second win in as many weeks at Oakland in Week 12.21. Arizona Cardinals2016 record: 4-5-1 | Week 11 ranking: 16Bruce Arians was hospitalized Monday, and we certainly wish him the best. Few coaches have been as successful as Arians. The Cardinals have a .664 winning percentage since he joined the franchise in 2013, tied for fourth best during that time. Arizona plays at Atlanta on Sunday.22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers2016 record: 5-5 | Week 11 ranking: 25The Buccaneers have won road games at Atlanta, Carolina and Kansas City this season but are just 1-4 at home in Raymond James Stadium. Thanks to the road victories, Tampa Bay sits at 5-5 overall heading into its Week 12 game against Seattle.23. New Orleans Saints2016 record: 4-6 | Week 11 ranking: 20The Saints fought back to a 4-4 record after an 0-3 start but have lost the past two weeks. Turnovers have been the biggest issue, with six giveaways in the past two games leading to 23 opponent points. The Saints look to buckle down against the Rams in Week 12.24. Green Bay Packers2016 record: 4-6 | Week 11 ranking: 22The Packers defense has allowed 27.6 points per game this season. Thats the most points per game allowed by a Packers defense since 1958, when the unit allowed 31.8. Can Green Bay win at Philadelphia in Week 12 ?to prevent a five-game losing streak?25. San Diego Chargers2016 record: 4-6 | Week 11 ranking: 23Last time we saw Philip Rivers, he threw a pick-six in a tie game with about a minute remaining in regulation. Losses like the Week 10 one to Miami are hard to come back from, but the Chargers will look to do just that at Houston on Sunday.26. Cincinnati Bengals2016 record: 3-6-1 | Week 11 ranking: 18Prior to Week 11, receiver A.J. Green had accounted for 38 percent of the Bengals receiving yards this season, highest in the NFL. Thatll be a huge chunk of production to replace for a team in need of wins. Well see how QB Andy Dalton adjusts this week at Baltimore.27. Los Angeles Rams2016 record: 4-6 | Week 11 ranking: 26Jared Goffs debut was less than stellar but par for the course as far as Rams quarterbacks are concerned. Goff led the Rams to their fourth straight effort of 10 or fewer points, the franchises longest streak since 2011, a season in which they went 2-14.28. New York Jets2016 record: 3-7 | Week 11 ranking: 28Bryce Petty or Ryan Fitzpatrick? Does it even matter who is starting at QB for New York? The 3-7 Jets have a 0.1 percent chance of making the playoffs according to NFL FPI. The Patriots come to town this week, and despite QB Tom Bradys hot streak, it might not be a guaranteed win for New England. The Jets are 4-3 in their past seven home games against the Patriots.29. Chicago Bears2016 record: 2-8 | Week 11 ranking: 29Kevin White, Zach Miller and Leonard Floyd are all injured. Alshon Jeffery is suspended. It has been a rough season in Chicago, as the Bears are off to their worst 10-game start since 2002. The Bears host the Titans on Sunday.30. Jacksonville Jaguars2016 record: 2-8 | Week 11 ranking: 30The Jaguars have lost five straight, committing 13 turnovers with only two takeaways in that time. Also, the Jaguars have led for a whopping 10 offensive plays in that stretch. Can they turn the corner in Buffalo this week?31. San Francisco 49ers2016 record: 1-9 | Week 11 ranking: 31Nine straight losses. Thats tied for the longest losing streak in franchise history (1978). To avoid setting the franchise record for consecutive losses, theyll need to beat a Dolphins team that has won five straight.32. Cleveland Browns2016 record: 0-11 | Week 11 ranking: 32Our Football Power Index now gives the Browns a 24 percent chance of losing out. The last team to lose 11 straight to start the season was the 2011 Colts, who didnt win until their 14th game. The Giants, who have won five straight, come to Cleveland this week. ' ' '
