Bills' Cardale Jones: Expected to play Thursday

Jones (shoulder) is expected to play in Thursday's preseason finale, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Jones may not be necessarily 100 percent as he recovers from a sore shoulder, but the rookie will likely be under center in Thursday's final preseason affair. The team plans to start the third-stringer and monitor his health as the game progresses. Recently, the Bills parted ways with Austin Trainor which all but assures that Jones will serve as Buffalo's No. 3 quarterback heading into the regular season.
