BUFFALO -- Quarterback Trent Edwards is ready to make his first start in three weeks since being sidelined by a groin injury, and former starter J.P. Losman has likely taken his last snap for the Buffalo Bills.

Edwards returned to practice Wednesday and is expected to start at Denver on Sunday. With Buffalo out of playoff contention after losing seven of eight, Edwards will try to spark a bumbling offense and prove he's capable of shedding the inconsistencies in his game before he was hurt.

The same can't be said for Losman, who's been relegated to third-string behind Gibran Hamdan. Losman has no plans to re-sign with Buffalo this offseason, and the demotion comes after his fumble was returned for a decisive touchdown in a 31-27 loss to the New York Jets last weekend.
