Bills placed CB Ashton Youboty (plantar fasciitis) on injured reserve, ending his season.

It's hard to imagine the Bills holding Wes Welker in check Sunday without Youboty or Donte Whitner to cover the slot. Youboty, 24, is under contract through next season and will likely return as a sub-package corner in 2009.

Should make life a tad easier for us next Monday is Whitner is out then, too.
