Injuries: Rex Ryan thinks Tyrod Taylor will play

The last time we saw Tyrod Taylor, the Bills quarterback was grasping his throwing shoulder after every pass in Monday night's loss to the Patriots.

Coach Rex Ryan, though, believes his mobile signal-caller will be healthy enough to suit up Sunday against the frisky Kansas City Chiefs.

"I think Tyrod is going to play," Rex told reporters on Wednesday. "He feels better than he did. The doctors feel he's going to be just fine."

"I feel good," Taylor said on Wednesday. "I'm ready to go."

Taylor was all over the place against New England, passing for 233 yards but underthrowing a rash of targets and running for just a single yard off four attempts. That said, it was a gutsy performance considering his banged-up throwing shoulder.

The Bills need Taylor at full strength against Kansas City's smothering defense. The Chiefs have held teams under 200 yards passing for four straight games. Their run-stuffers have been just as stout.

With both teams sitting at 5-5 and in position for a wild card, Sunday's showdown has major playoff implications for Taylor's Bills.

Here's the rest of Wednesday's injury news:

1. Falcons running back Devonta Freeman and wideout Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) both did not practice. Freeman is still in the first phrase of concussion protocol.

2. Marshawn Lynchhad sports hernia surgery early Wednesday morning, coach Pete Carroll confirmed, saying doctors are optimistic about a quick recovery. Lynch will likely be out until late December. Wideout Doug Baldwin (ankle) will play Sunday.

3. Lions wideout Calvin Johnson (ankle) and cornerback Darius Slay (neck) are questionable for Thursday against the Eagles.

4. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton appeared on the injury report with a groin injury and was limited in practice.
