Harrison hurt his knee on the opening kickoff of Buffalo's 17-14 win over the New York Jets last weekend. The Bills had signed Harrison just last week to bolster their banged-up linebacker corps. Price's injury means the Bills will rely more on slot receivers Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed to take the focus off starter Lee Evans. Buffalo |

Edwards' 234 yards passing against the Jets was a season-high after the Bills combined for 352 yards in their first three games.

Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress and defensive end Osi Umenyiora did not practice on Thursday, but both are expected to be ready for Sunday's contest |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Mike Nolan could have relaxed. The New York Jets were still paying him in January 2001, and their former defensive coordinator could have calmly watched the playoffs at home after 14 straight years of the NFL grind.
