Without Wood, who hurt a knee ligament on Sunday, Buffalo would be down to two running backs, Boobie Dixon and Dan Herron, plus fullback Jerome Felton.
NOTES: In placing Wood on injured reserve, the Bills activated DE Ikemefuna Enemkpali,
Marlon Humphrey Jersey, who finished serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Enemkpali was suspended for a punch that broke the jaw of New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith during a locker room altercation in August. ... Buffalo's 209 yards on offense Sunday were the team's fewest in a win since managing 167 in a 20-9 victory at Carolina in 2009. ... Buffalo finished with 24:29 in time of possession, the fewest in a victory since 23:01 in a 13-10 win at Miami in 2007.
With the offense managing 51 yards and four first downs in the first half, Ryan said he had no choice but to put more emphasis on Taylor's scrambling abilities to provide a spark.
Ryan declined to say whether any of the hits the quarterback took Sunday will limit him in practice this week.
Ryan said Watkins was nearly ready to play after warming up before the Bills 14-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Taylor has been bothered by an ankle injury that's nagged him since training camp. On Sunday, he left the field for one play after twisting his left ankle on a 24-yard scramble on third-and-23 from his 7.
On Buffalo's next possession, Taylor combined for 76 yards
