Bills forced to juggle O-line

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Andy Levitre knows the rash of injuries along the Buffalo Bills offensive line isn’t anything to be taken lightly. But he’s aware the sky isn’t falling either.

When the Bills (2-10) host the Cleveland Browns (5-7) on Sunday, they’ll be sporting a new center and right guard. That’s because center Geoff Hangartner and right guard Kraig Urbik sustained knee injuries in Sunday’s loss at Minnesota.

That’s caused a domino effect. Starting right guard Eric Wood, who returns after missing two games because of an ankle injury, shifts to center, and backups Ed Wang and Cordaro Howard split right-guard duties.
