Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson has the team doctor's approval to play this weekend. Jackson received the "okay" on Friday, before taking part in his third straight practice since spraining his right knee in a season- opening loss at the New York Jets on September 9th. The doctor said as long as he feels like he's capable of going, he's okay with him playing. Jackson said that he felt some soreness, but he believes he will be ready to play on Sunday, when the Bills (2-1) host AFC East rival New England (1-2). Jackson is listed as questionable on the injury report, giving him a 50 percent chance of playing. C.J. Spiller ( left shoulder), the running back practiced for a second straight say, and he is also listed questionable after he was hurt in a 24-14 win at Cleveland last weekend. Their coach, Coach Chan Gailey said both of them have a great chance of playing, and was particularly surprised by how quickly Spiller's shoulder has improved. Gailey said Spiller's potential of playing leaves open the opportunity for the Bills to use their Wildcat formations. Jackson's recovery is actually ahead of schedule. He was actually expected to miss at least three weeks. Jackson, however, has kept open the possibility of playing against New England because the Patriots are a division rival. Jackson is not afraid of making the injury worse by playing.
