Bills coach Chan Gailey said he wanted to give Fitzpatrick a day off. He anticipates the quarterback will return to practice Thursday.

Fitzpatrick walked with a slight limp Wednesday, favoring his right leg. He hasn't missed a snap since taking over as starter in Week 3. He has provided the offense a semblance of identity despite the team's 4-11 record.

Fitzpatrick is coming off his worst game of the season. He threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles during a 34-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.
