Buffalo nose tackle Kyle Williams was among five Bills' starters who are inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

Williams was listed as questionable for the game Friday with a foot problem. Linebacker Shawne Merriman was declared out Saturday with an Achilles tendon problem, joining receiver Donald Jones (ankle), linebacker Chris Kelsay (calf) and tackle Demetrius Bell (shoulder) as inactive.

The Giants are missing three starters, guard Chris Snee (concussion), fullback Henry Hynoski (neck) and defensive end Justin Tuck (groin-neck). Tuck missed his third straight game and fourth overall, while Snee had a streak of 101 consecutive starts snapped.
