Bills' Mitchell considered doubtful for opener

Football Betting Lines

09/09/2010 - Orchard Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Buffalo Bills linebacker Kawika Mitchell missed practice Thursday and appears unlikely to play in Sunday's opener against the Miami Dolphins.

Bills head coach Chan Gailey said Mitchell hurt his foot in practice on Wednesday and was set to undergo tests Thursday.

"I think we're under further review, so to speak," Gailey said about the status for Mitchell. "We're still evaluating what's going on. Since he didn't work today and we're giving him more tests, you'd have to put him more toward the doubtful category, but I don't have to do that until [Friday]."

Mitchell, about to start his eighth NFL season and third with the Bills, is listed as the backup to Andra Davis on the team's depth chart. He started five games last year before a knee injury cut his season short.

The 30-year-old South Florida product had 82 tackles and four sacks in his first season with the Bills and added 27 tackles last year. He has also played for Kansas City and the New York Giants, starting 86 of his 96 career games.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
