The Bills are targeting Week 9 for LT Cordy Glenn and RG Kraig Urbik's returns from ankle injuries.

"To be honest with you, I think they’ll both be ready for Houston," coach Chan Gailey said Friday. Glenn and Urbik will both miss Sunday's game against the Titans, and Buffalo has a Week 8 bye. The Bills' passing game has fallen flat on its face without its two starting offensive linemen the past two weeks.

Bills LT Cordy Glenn (ankle) missed practice again on Friday.

Glenn hasn't practiced at all this week, so his chances of playing on Sunday are slim-to-none. Chris Hairston would step into the starting lineup on Ryan Fitzpatrick's blind side. RG Kraig Urbik (ankle) and reserve interior lineman Chad Rinehart (calf) also haven't practiced this week. It's a matchup upgrade for the Arizona D/ST.

Bills declared LT Cordy Glenn, RG Kraig Urbik, QB Tarvaris Jackson, RB Johnny White, S Delano Howell, LB Kirk Morrison and DL Spencer Johnson inactive for Week 5 at San Francisco.

Chris Hairston will replace Glenn on Fitzpatrick's blindside while Chad Rinehart fills in for Urbik. The Bills get rid of the ball quickly, but it's still a matchup upgrade for the 49ers D/ST. FS Jairus Byrd (hip) is active for Buffalo.

Bills LT Cordy Glenn (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the 49ers.

Glenn left last week's game in the third quarter with the injury. Buffalo will plug Chris Hairston in at left tackle. The second-round rookie, Glenn, had been playing at a high level before going down. Hairston will see a lot of Justin and Aldon Smith.

Bills LT Cordy Glenn exited Sunday's Week 4 game with an ankle injury in the third quarter.

He was taken to the locker room, ostensibly for X-rays. The Bills can plug Chris Hairston into the starting lineup as a youthful backup with experience, but Glenn had been playing at a high level. His status is uncertain.

Second-round rookie Cordy Glenn has officially been named the Bills' starting left tackle.

Glenn started each of the Bills' first two preseason games, and was always the favorite over holdover Chris Hairston. Hairston started seven games in 2011, and will serve as Buffalo's swing tackle. Glenn boasts left-tackle size at 6-foot-6, 345 pounds, but just 18 of his 50 college starts came on the blindside. Hairston will step in if Glenn struggles early.

Second-round rookie Cordy Glenn is ahead of Chris Hairston in the left tackle battle.

Glenn started the preseason opener against the Redskins and handled himself well. Hairston will slide in as the swing tackle, backing up both Glenn and RT Erik Pears. This offensive line was quietly one of the best pass-protecting units in the league last season and figures to get better with the addition of Glenn.

BuffaloBills.com confirms second-round pick Cordy Glenn took "all" of the Bills' offseason reps at left tackle.

The Bills' official website expects Glenn to beat out Chris Hairston for blindside duties with a "strong" camp. "He’s got ability and he’s got a work ethic that will allow him to get there," coach Chan Gailey said. A mountainous 6-foot-6, 345 pounds, Glenn boasts prototypical left tackle size, but just 18 of his 50 college starts came on the blindside. We still like his chances of proving an upgrade on Hairston, who struggled down the stretch last year.

Bills rookie Cordy Glenn will have to hold off Chris Hairston for the starting left tackle job in training camp.

Hairston saw action on Ryan Fitzpatrick's blindside in 11 games last year, faring poorly down the stretch. Glenn should be considered the favorite after taking nearly all of the snaps during spring practices while Hairston filled in for RT Erik Pears (hernia surgery).

No. 41 overall pick Cordy Glenn has taken every first-team rep at left tackle during Bills OTAs.

Glenn started 50 games at Georgia, but only 18 at left tackle. "He's got a lot of learning to do," said coach Chan Gailey. "He's got physical talent and he's got ability. He's got a work ethic that will allow him to get there. He just needs as many reps as he can possibly get between now and the first game of the year."

Bills signed No. 41 overall pick OT Cordy Glenn to a four-year contract.

Glenn was viewed by many as an NFL guard prior to the draft, but Bills GM Buddy Nix is "convinced" he will succeed at left tackle. Long and athletic, Glenn started 32 games at guard and 18 at left tackle for Georgia. With the loss of Demetress Bell, Glenn will have every opportunity to protect Ryan Fitzpatrick's blindside as a rookie.

Bills GM Buddy Nix is "convinced" that No. 41 overall pick Cordy Glenn can be a left tackle in the league.

Some draftniks projected Glenn to guard, but the Bills see a lot of Marcus McNeill in Glenn's game. "He was able to hold his own against the best at the Senior Bowl at left tackle," said Nix. "It convinced us." Added coach Chan Gailey, "We think he can go a long way at left tackle." Top Bills scout Darrell Moody was adamant: "He’s very similar to what Marcus McNeill was when we took him in San Diego. Our coaches there were able to get that tendency to waist bend out of (McNeill). We’re a firm believer we can get (Glenn) out of that habit."

Bills selected Georgia OT Cordy Glenn with the No. 41 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

A 50-game starter in the SEC, Glenn saw first-team action at both guard spots and right tackle before finishing his career on quarterback Aaron Murray's blind side. He goes 6-foot-6, 345 and has vine-line, 35 1/8-inch arms. A player likened to Marcus McNeill by NFL Network's Mike Mayock and Rotoworld's Josh Norris, Glenn was an obvious favorite of Bills GM Buddy Nix, who drafted McNeill in San Diego. Glenn will compete to start at both tackle positions as a rookie. He could beat out Chris Hairston on the left side.

The Bills' website expects the team to target an offensive lineman at the No. 41 overall pick.

Bills GM Buddy Nix has openly admitted he's seeking line upgrades -- specifically at tackle -- and there were several pre-draft reports that Buffalo tried to trade up for USC LT Matt Kalil. Among the Bills' options at No. 41 may be Georgia's Cordy Glenn, Ole Miss' Bobby Massie, and Ohio State's Mike Adams. Stanford LT Jonathan Martin is another strong possibility.
