So E.J. Manuel is back for the Buffalo Bills today against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s the good news for the Buffalo offense.

The bad news is that they will officially be without Robert Woods as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained last week against Kansas City.

That likely opens the door for UConn product Marcus Easley and Texas product Marquise Goodwin to get more reps today behind Stevie Johnson and T.J. Graham, the Bills starters. Manuel could use a big day from C.J. Spiller today out of the backfield too, as the weather this time of year is less than admirable for a passing game in Pittsburgh anyway.
