Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor missed last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals but plans to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

Taylor has been banged up for a few weeks, and he missed the Bengals game, which was started by EJ Manuel. But Taylor says he's feeling good and is optimistic about playing Sunday, with no limitations from the knee injury, Buffalo News' Vic Carucci reports.
Taylor expects to practice Wednesday, and even if it's on a limited basis, that would be a good sign for him to go against a Jaguars defense that has made a lot of other quarterbacks look quite proficient. Taylor actually was limited in practice all last week but was not able to go.
Manuel was not terrible in the game, but the reports last week that a Manuel-Taylor battle could be reopened appears to be false. Taylor looks to be the guy if he's healthy, and it would make sense to give him that chance with wide receiver Sammy Watkins — and perhaps other offensive players — unlikely to go in Sunday's game.
Taylor, even while taking a beating, has been a difference maker for the Bills with his running ability and underrated throwing talent.
