ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson has the team doctors clearance to play this weekend. Jackson received the OK 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 Sept. 9. "(The doctor) said as long as I feel like Im capable of going, hes going to support what I do," Jackson said. Despite feeling some soreness, Jackson believes hell be "ready to go" Sunday, when the Bills (2-1) host AFC East rival New England (1-2). Jackson is listed questionable on the injury report, giving him a 50 per cent chance of playing. Running back C.J. Spiller (left shoulder) practiced for a second straight day, and is also listed questionable after he was hurt in a 24-14 win at Cleveland last weekend. Coach Chan Gailey said both have a "legitimate chance" of playing, and was particularly surprised by how quickly Spillers shoulder has improved. Spiller didnt speak to reporters except to give a thumbs-up sign when asked how he felt while making his way to the trainers room following practice. Gailey said Spillers potential of playing leaves open the opportunity for the Bills to use their wildcat formations. Jacksons recovery is ahead of schedule after he was initially 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. He added hes not afraid of potentially aggravating the injury. "Theres always going to be a risk, you always have to be aware of that," Jackson said. "But thats part of the game. That could happen this week, it could happen Week 13. So just go out there and play." On a separate matter, special teams co-ordinator Bruce DeHaven had his first opportunity Friday to discuss the Bills decision to cut punter Brian Moorman. DeHaven declined to go into specifics on what led to the 12-year team veteran being released Tuesday. He instead referred to general manager Buddy Nix, who said the team saw an opportunity to improve the position by signing rookie Shawn Powell, who had been one of the Bills final cuts before the start of the season. "I dont want to say anything that would denigrate Brian in any way," DeHaven said. "He had a great career here. Hes got a great reputation in town. The move has been made and I dont want to say anything that might be misconstrued as something negative about Brian, to be honest with you." Moormans agent, Ron Raccuia, questioned DeHavens comments. In a text sent to The Associated Press, Raccuia wrote: "Now isnt the time to discuss Bruce DeHaven, but its nice to hear that hes done saying things to denigrate Brian." Raccuia didnt elaborate further. Moorman and DeHaven never developed a close relationship during their two-plus seasons together in Buffalo. DeHaven said he wasnt aware of any rift between him and the player. "I cant speak for Brian, but I know if there was anything there between him and I, it didnt come from me," DeHaven said. Moormans departure came as a surprise to his teammates and Bills fans. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Moorman was a team captain, respected leader and popular in the community because of his work with charitable organizations. Moorman has since signed with Dallas. Moormans numbers have slipped in part because DeHaven favours more directional punts to limit returns. DeHaven said he was pleased with three of Moormans six punts that sailed out of bounds against Cleveland. Jerseys From China . -- Pete Carroll says the "field" in FedEx Field is "horrible.

SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Webb Simpson shot a 1-under 69 on Saturday and is tied for third heading into the final round of the McGladrey Classic. Simpson and world No. 1 Luke Donald are vying for the PGA Tour money title and both have said they will play next week at Disney. Simpson trails Donald by US$68,971, but could move into the top spot with a strong round Sunday. Simpson also is looking for a tour-leading third win this year, which could make him the favourite for PGA Tour player of the year. Michael Thompson had three early birdies and finished with a 67 to move into the lead at Sea Island, one shot better than second-round leader Billy Horschel. Thompson had one of three bogey-free rounds on the day and is 13-under 197. Trevor Immelman, who has only two top-10 finishes on Tour since winning the 2008 Masters, matched the Seaside Course record with a 62 and is tied with Simpson at 11 under. Louis Oosthuizen (69), the 2010 British Open champion, Jeff Overton (66), Kris Blanks (66) and Nick OHern (69) are tied at 9 under. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., shot a 68 and was the low Canadian in a tie for 17th. Matt McQuillan (68) of Kingston, Ont., was 27th, Calgarys Stephen Ames (70) sat 33rd and Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., and Richard Scott of Kingsville, Ont., were tied for 67th after shooting matching 72s. Horschel (70) led by as many as three shots and had a one-shot margin when he hit his tee shot at the par-4 16th hole into a lateral hazard. He eventually posted a double-bogey. Thompson made all three of his birdies on the front nine and parred every hole on the back. He had an eight-foot putt for birdie on tthe closing hole, but the ball caught a piece of the cup and trickled out.dddddddddddd "I thought it was the best putt I hit all day," Thompson said. "Something yanked it left. But Im very happy. I played bogey-free on Saturday, which is always a good thing no matter where I stand." Horschel, a second-year pro, has competed against Thompson before. Horschel was a three-time All-American at the University of Florida, and Thompson went to Alabama. Horschel was 14 under through 15 holes on the sunny, windless day. But he got "too quick" on his tee shot at No. 16, and watched in dismay as the ball started left and stayed left, dropping into the hazard. He had an 11-foot putt for bogey, and missed it after playing his previous 20 holes at 7-under par, with no bogeys. "I guess the ball wanted to go in there," Horschel said of his shot at No. 16. "It was a quick swing ... I get a little quick at the top. Im fortunate to be as close to Michael as I am. I could be two or three shots behind." Horschel got up and down for par at No. 18 after his second shot went into a sandy area right of the green. He splashed the ball out and made a 10-foot putt. "I was rooting for him," Thompson said. "I never root for someone to hit a bad shot." Thompson and Horschel continue to thrive on familiar ground. Thompson won the 2008 Southeastern Conference individual championship at nearby Frederica Golf Club, and Horschel won the 2009 SEC title at Sea Island. "You cant win the tournament on Saturday," Horschel said. "Im one back and in the final twosome. It would be nice to be one ahead but Ill take it." ' ' '
