ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — New York Jets center Nick Mangold is starting against the Buffalo Bills despite being limited in practice this past week because of a sprained right shoulder.
Mangold sustained the injury in New York’s Week 2 win over the New England Patriots, but he played last week against Miami. He has started 72 consecutive regular season and postseason games.
Jets linebacker Calvin Pace sat out on Sunday, missing his fourth game after breaking his right foot in the preseason.
The Bills were missing three starters on defense — defensive end Marcus Stroud (left ankle), linebacker Andra Davis (shoulder) and cornerback Terrence McGee (knee) — but welcomed back inside linebacker Paul Posluszny, who had missed the past two games because of a sprained right knee.
