NFL NEWS AND NOTES


The Sports Xchange reports that Bills rookie RB Marshawn Lynch had just two carries (for three yards) in his NFL debut at the Saints, but he's expected to get a lot more work in Friday's preseason home opener against the Falcons....
Seventh-round receiver Syndric Steptoe has been a pleasant surprise for Crennel and the Browns, reports The Sports Xchange. He is only 5-foot-9 but will challenge big safeties for the ball. He caught two passes for 36 yards and returned three punts for 15 yards against the Chiefs....
Browns WR Tim Carter has been sidelined with a thumb injury. He has watched Browns special teamer Joshua Cribbs work in his place with some success....
The Sports Xchange reports that Bills CB Jason Webster is now playing left corner with Terrence McGee shifting to right, the old spot held by the departed Nate Clements. The Bills are curious to find what side each is most comfortable at and to also develop interchangeable parts. Also, SS Donte Whitner is playing on the slot receiver in the club's nickel package. The coaches like his physical style at the point of attack, but continue to experiment.
