This makes seven. Yes, seven Buffalo players are out for this key divisional matchup. Ellis joins Demetrius Bell, John McCargo, Leodis McKelvin (who was placed on IR), Paul Posluszny, Bryan Scott and Donte Whitner.

Drafted in the third round two years ago, Ellis was brought in to provide a pass rush. So far, he hasn't produced. After a strong offseason and a promising preseason, Ellis has three tackles through three games. He has a decent burst off the line, but is still developing counter moves.

During camp, he had plenty of extra reps at defensive end. Hopefully, the emergency isn't anything too serious.
