Reinforcements for Offensive Tackle?

Matt Murphy is hurt, so is Patrick Estes, and Jason Peters is nowhere to be found. All of a sudden, the Bills have a serious depth problem at Offensive Tackle. Murphy has a shoulder injury, and we saw him walking around camp today with his arm in a sling. Dick Jauron had very little in the way of an update on Murphy's injury, or how long he might be out. Patrick Estes, the free agent from Virginia, was on the sidelines with his left leg wrapped up, and there's no word on how much time he might miss. And, of course, Jason Peters is still holding out.
Dick Jauron seemed to indicate today that it would be nearly impossible to bring in a backup tackle to help in this Thursday's game in Toronto. But late in the day, we spotted Bills personnel officials putting a potential roster candidate through a workout, so stay tuned.
