Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch is scheduled to test his sore ankle in practice Tuesday.

The results will help determine whether he'll play in the team's preseason finale against the Lions.

Coach Chan Gailey was pleased with how Lynch ran sprints at the end of a team walkthrough Monday. The next test will be to see how he looks during practice two days before Buffalo travels to Detroit.

Lynch has been out since hurting his ankle in a preseason loss at Washington on August 13.

Also Monday, the Bills released three players to establish their 75-player roster a day before the NFL deadline. Those let go were rookie seventh-round pick OT Kyle Calloway, DT Lonnie Harvey and WR Aaron Rhea.
