Now the Buffalo Bills are more confident in their running back as Marshawn Lynch wear back his Bills jersey after serving his three-week suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
The running back who did Lynch’s job while he was out, Fred Jackson has already done a good job, ranking the fourth in the NFL in rushing with 291 yards. He also added 15 catches for 134 yards, averaging 10.5 touches per game as is about half of Lynch’s 20 touch last season. Now that Lynch is back with the team, the Bills plan to split the work between the two.
"Now Marshawn's back, and we'll take some of that load off (Fred) and evenly distribute it because both those guys are good," Bills coach Dick Jauron said.
The Bills will play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The rival will have a new starting quarterback Chad Henne and make Tyler Thigpen to be the backup.

Three-game suspension to Bills RB Lynch will stand
NFL announced on Monday that Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch’s appeal was denied and the three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy will stand.
Lynch’s suspension begins on Sept. 5 and ends on Sept. 28. That means he will not be able to take part in the Bills third regular-season game against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 27. Bills head coach Dick Jauron felt disapointed with the suspension because Lynch is a "real good football player" who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his two seasons with the Bills. But Jauron also hopes Lynch will learn from the suspension.
Lynch was suspended because of an arrest in Culver City, Calif., on Feb. 11 when police found an unliscenced handgun in the car Lynch was in. He was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and three years probation. However, Lynch will still be allowed to wear nfl jerseys and participate in all preseason practices and games before Sept. 5.
