Bills' Dareus says he'll make season debut vs. Patriots

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus says he'll make his 2016 season debut Sunday against the New England Patriots.

"I'm going to be playing on Sunday. I can't wait. We want to pull it off, make it happen," Dareus declared to reporters Wednesday.

A four-game suspension and then a hamstring injury kept the 331-pound lineman off the field for the first seven games. It's not hard to argue his presence has been sorely missed. The Bills' defense allowed Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi to rush for 214 yards in Week 7.
