Dallas Cowboys LB Sean Lee (neck) said he hopes to be able to play if the team make the playoffs. He has been ruled out for Week 17 but said his injured neck is showing improvement.

Footballguys View: Good luck with that. The Cowboys will have to beat the Eagles in Week 17 to advance to the postseason. They’ll have to do that with Kyle Orton as their quarterback. We’ll most likely see Lee on the field next year.

Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone said QB EJ Manuel (knee) wanted to play Week 17, but that the team was not comfortable with the lateral movement Manuel was showing during practice.
