The Buffalo Bills are hopeful to expand their fan base into Canada by playing a preseason and regular season game in Toronto. Most of the Bills fans are located in Central and Western New York and this would be an attempt to capitalize on the close proximity to Toronto. There is a chance that the Bills could play a preseason game in Toronto next season and a regular season game there the year after. This comes a year after Willis McGahee said that the Bills should move to Toronto because he didn't like the city of Buffalo. The Bills have said that this is to expand the fan base and not a first step in relocation.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Bills intend to play a few games in Canada, eh?

That's the plan after the Bills, on Thursday, announced they are seeking approval to play a preseason and at least one regular-season game in Toronto as part of the franchise's attempt to expand its market base beyond western New York.

"The team hopes to capitalize on the increasing interest of fans in the Canadian market by playing a regular season game in Toronto," the Bills announced in a release.

The Bills hope to play a preseason game at Toronto next summer with plans to play a regular-season game as early as 2009. The games would be played at Rogers Center, a downtown stadium with a retractable roof that serves as home to baseball's Blue Jays and the Canadian Football League Argonauts.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills reserve tight end Kevin Everett will be sedated for a day or two as doctors evaluate the extent of a severe spinal injury that could leave him paralyzed.

Everett is in the intensive care unit at Buffalo's Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital after a four-hour operation performed hours after he was hurt in a season-opening loss to Denver, Eric Armstead, a partner of the player's agent Brian Overstreet, told The Associated Press on Monday.

"He'll be sedated for the next 24 to 48 hours and we won't know more until then," Armstead said. "We were told by the doctors that the surgery went well."

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, doctors in Buffalo have told members of the Bills that bone chips were removed during surgery.
