Bills re-signed K Rian Lindell to a four-year, $11 million contract.
Lindell is 35 and missed eight games in 2011 due to injury. While we can't imagine the Bills committed much, Lindell will be a good bet to beat out Brandon Coutu to keep his job in 2012. Buffalo's offense will have to take a major surge to get Lindell back on the fantasy radar.

WGR 550 Buffalo
Bills placed K Rian Lindell (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Lindell suffered a shoulder injury while making a tackle on a kickoff return a month ago. The Bills conceded last week that he's ready to kick again, but there's concern that the shoulder wouldn't hold up if he was forced to make a tackle. Lindell is a free agent in 2012. Dave Rayner will handle kicking chores the rest of the way.
Thu, Dec 8, 2011 02:49:00 PM
Bills K Rian Lindell (shoulder) is not expected to be cleared to return this week.
The training staff still has concerns over Lindell's ability to safely make tackles on kickoffs. Dave Rayner will continue to fill in.

Bills K Rian Lindell (shoulder) is expected to be held out for one more week.
Lindell is well enough to kick, but there's still concern that he could aggravate the injury by attempting to make a tackle on kickoffs. Dave Rayner will handle field-goal duties against the Titans.

Stevie Johnson
Sidelined
Stevie Johnson will undergo groin surgery "over the next couple of days" to repair the injury that plagued him throughout 2011.
He has three months before the start of training camp, which should be plenty of time. Johnson's agent characterized the operation as "extremely minor," and assured that his client would "be at [the Bills'] facility for all activities." Johnson played through the injury all last year. He still caught 76 passes for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns, setting a career high with a 13.2 yards-per-reception average and finishing as the No. 21 fantasy receiver.

Out of FB
Bills waived QB Aaron Corp and S Ian Wild.
Buffalo appears poised to take three quarterbacks to camp: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Vince Young, and Tyler Thigpen. Though Corp was somewhat heralded as a former five-star prep recruit, he didn't show well in Bills rookie minicamp.
