PITTSFORD, N. DeMar DeRozan Jersey .Y. -- Bills quarterback Kevin Kolb is showing signs of being a fast healer. A day after limping through his first practice since twisting his left knee, Kolb came out scrambling and firing one completion after another Tuesday. It was an impressive enough outing for coach Doug Marrone to suggest the seventh-year quarterback is on track to play in Buffalos preseason game against Minnesota on Friday. "I was happy today," Marrone said. "He looked really good to the point where were going to get him ready to play." Kolb had missed eight days of training camp and the Bills preseason-opening 44-20 win at Indianapolis on Sunday after slipping on a wet rubber mat in practice Aug. 3. The veteran free-agent addition is competing with rookie first-round draft pick EJ Manuel for the starting job. The update wasnt as positive for receiver T.J. Graham, who was held out of practice a day after straining his groin. Marrone doesnt expect Graham to return until after the game Friday. The Bills are already down their two most experienced receivers. Starter Stevie Johnson is expected to miss at least another week after pulling his left hamstring on Aug. 2. Brad Smith is also sidelined with a hamstring injury. Also Tuesday, starting safety Aaron Williams limped off the field and did not return after experiencing what Marrone called cramps. Reserve offensive lineman Thomas Welch twisted his ankle near the end of practice while attempting to catch a pass in the end zone on a tackle-eligible play. Welch was shoved down by linebacker Nigel Bradham before he could make the catch. Kolb looked like a completely different player than a day earlier, when he hobbled around the backfield and struggled to complete a pass. Wearing only a sleeve on his left knee on Tuesday, Kolb showed great mobility to avoid being sacked by Alex Carrington. On the next snap, Kolb dropped back and completed a long pass over the middle to Marquise Goodwin. Later, he hit DaRick Rogers on another deep pass. "He had some great reads, some great throws, and loved having him out there," offensive co-ordinator Nathaniel Hackett said. "It was good to have him back." Before practice, the Bills released reserve punter Brian Stahovich, in a move that opened the door for incumbent Shawn Powell to retain his job. Powell enters his second season after replacing long-time veteran Brian Moorman a month into last season. The Bills had signed Stahovich following a minicamp tryout in April in order to compete with Powell. At Indianapolis on Sunday, Stahovich averaged 41.3 yards on three punts, landing two of them inside the 20. Stahovich played at San Diego State, and was initially signed with Indianapolis last year. He was cut before the start of the season.

Competing over fences under Rules is the next step for the Olympic cycling champion whose ambition is to ride in the St Jamess Place Foxhunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival next month.She has already gained experience riding on the Flat and in point-to-points and is now gearing up towards reaching her goal. Pendleton went very close to winning a point-to-point on Pacha Du Polder recently, when the horse was with Chloe Roddick.The nine-year-old, who was runner-up in the Crabbies Fox Hunters Chase over the Grand National course at Aintree last season, is now back with Paul Nicholls, who will give the partnership the chance to shine in the William Bulwer-Long Memorial Grassroots Fox Hunters Chase.He told Betfair: Fakenham is the logical target after their excellent debut together when they failed by inches to land a point-to-point at Milborne St Andrew on January 31.It is important for Victoria to gain experience in a hunter chase before considering a tilt at the ultimate challenge of riding in the St Jamess Place Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham in March.The race over three miles at Fakenham, an easy track, looks ideal and comes at a perfect time before Cheltenham.Pacha Du Polder is a very classy chaser, a brilliant jumper, travels well in his races, has smart form over Aintrees National fences and showed he stayed three miles at Milborne St Andrew.Frankly, the improvement Victoria has made since she began this odyssey is phenomenal and she now looks the part when she comes down to Ditcheat to ride on our gallops.Should Victoria reach Cheltenhamm, her and Pacha Du Polder are more than capable of finishing in the first six.
