ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Its a free country, so it makes no difference to Rex Ryan whether Colin Kaepernick continues to kneel in protest during the national anthem when Buffalo hosts the 49ers on Sunday.The Bills coach is more concerned what the San Francisco quarterback can do with his arm and legs once the game begins now that Kaepernick has reclaimed the starting job .Im not worried about that kind of figure, Ryan said, referring to Kaepernick transcending football and entering the national political discussion with his public stance against racial oppression and police brutality.Im worried about the quarterback, he added. Any time you lead a team to a Super Bowl, thats pretty good. So thats where our focus certainly is on preparing for him.Ryan has no intention of the Bills losing their focus even though he believes standing for the anthem pays respect to members of the armed forces.Buffalo (3-2) has won three straight , and the objective is making it four in a row, which would mark the Bills best streak since going 4-0 to open 2008.Make no mistake, were still kicking dirt off ourselves from the start we had, Ryan said. Were not that good. Were not good enough to overlook anybody, let alone the 49ers.San Francisco (1-4) has lost four straight and seeking any semblance of a spark, which is one of the reasons first-year coach Chip Kelly made the switch at quarterback by benching Blaine Gabbert .Its not Blaines fault, Kelly said. We just felt we needed to do something on the offensive side of the ball to get us going. When you look at the depth of the offensive side of the ball, its really the one maneuver we could make.Little has gone right for the 49ers since a 28-0 season-opening rout of an undisciplined Los Angeles Rams opponent. In their past four games, Gabbert has thrown four touchdowns and six interceptions, and the Niners have managed just 16 big plays (10 or more yards rushing, 20 or more yards passing) after having seven against L.A.Enter Kaepernick, who made a splash with his dual-threat abilities in leading San Francisco to a Super Bowl appearance in 2013 -- a 34-31 loss to Baltimore -- and to the NFC championship game the following year, which the 49ers lost to Seattle. His production has tailed off since, with injuries playing a factor. In the past 11 months, hes had operations on his left non-throwing shoulder, left knee and right thumb.Kaepernicks last start was Nov. 1, when his record dropped to 2-6 following a 27-6 loss at St. Louis.As a competitor, you always want to be in a position where you can help your team win football games, Kaepernick said. I now have that opportunity and want to take full advantage of it.Heres a number of things to look for Sunday:RAISED PLATFORM: Kaepernick doesnt feel added pressure to succeed to help expand his voice .If me winning some games and playing well amplifies how much people want to listen to what Im saying and what Im fighting for, great, he said. But regardless of what happens on the field, theres nothing that can delegitimize what this movement is about.CHIP VS. LESEAN PART II: Bills running back LeSean McCoy caused a stir last year by using a profanity in saying he wouldnt shake then-Eagles coach Chip Kellys hand before Buffalos game at Philadelphia. McCoy was upset in believing Kellys decision to trade him to Buffalo was possibly racially motivated.McCoy still isnt likely to shake Kellys hand Sunday, but was far more reserved in sharing his emotions toward his former coach.I never really had an issue with him, McCoy said. Some things we didnt see eye to eye, but thats tons of players and coaches.POROUS D: The 49ers have allowed a 100-yard rusher for four straight weeks, contributing to San Francisco having the leagues second-worst rushing defense at 146.8 yards per game. The Niners will have their hands full this week against McCoy, who has a combined 330 yards rushing and three TDs (including one receiving) in the past three games since Anthony Lynn replaced Greg Roman as offensive coordinator.STOUT D: Led by 10th-year journeyman Lorenzo Alexanders NFL-leading seven sacks, the Bills have 17 already -- four fewer than they had last year. Buffalo is also third in the NFL with 11 takeaways (five fumbles, six interceptions), including three returned for touchdowns.O-LINE SWITCH: The move to Kaepernick might not be the only change on offense. Rookie guard Joshua Garnett played 18 snaps as a reserve last week and could start against the Bills in place of Andrew Tiller. The Niners traded up to draft Garnett in the first round, but he didnt get a single snap on offense the first four weeks.---AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in Santa Clara, California, contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Discount Air Max . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.

Still, after 12 seasons in the NFL Jenkins remained unsigned. But on Monday it all paid off when the Washington Redskins signed Jenkins to a one-year deal.Mentally it starts to get tough the later it gets because youre training, training, training, training, training and then sometimes you can start to wonder: `Am I training for anything? Is that call going to come? Jenkins said after working out, signing and going through practice. I would just tell people if the call doesnt come, it is what it is, but its not going to come and then Im not going to be ready. Im going to make sure Im ready regardless.At 35 years old, Jenkins brings leadership and depth to the Redskins defensive line that had some question marks. Coach Jay Gruden said the team had some players already in camp it was happy with but wanted to add another big body to the mix days before cutting to the 53-man roster.Jenkins spent the past three seasons with the New York Giants and also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. He has 332 tackles and 47 + sacks in his NFL career.Gruden believes Jenkins can play anywhere along the defensive line, which cant hurt at a time the Redskins have to make some final decisions.I still got a lot of quickness and experience, Jenkins said. With that ability to still try to get after the quarterback and just be a versatile player, thats been what Ive been my whole career -- someone who can try to be versatile and play a lot of different positions.Jenkins, who didnt have any other NFL workouts before Monday, said he didnt ask general manager Scot McCloughan for any assurances that hell be on the 53-man roster after this weekend because he signed so late.Its still a matter of me having to prove myself, Jenkins said. Im an older player. Im 35 years old. I dont expect any give-mes or guarantees coming into this thing. You come in and the way to do it: You come in,, you prove yourself, you show what youve got.dddddddddddd If you do a good job of that, then youve got a chance to stay around.Jenkins said it was a possibility that hell play in the fourth preseason game Thursday at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.His signing came on the same day the New England Patriots cut former Redskins defensive lineman Terrance Knighton and got Bryan Stork back after the center failed his physical with Washington. The Redskins sent a draft pick to the Patriots for Stork on Wednesday, and the 25-year-old mulled retirement before deciding to report.Its unfortunate, Gruden said of Stork failing his physical. Hes a great kid and obviously a very good player. Every physical is different on every team, so it might be different somewhere else, but it didnt work out here.Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday morning of Storks situation: Well find out exactly what the story is and whenever that is well make the best decision that we can.Gruden said even without Stork the Redskins feel good about their depth at center, despite Kory Lichtensteiger being held out of practice with shoulder soreness and backup Spencer Long, whos in competition to start at left guard, dealing with a sprained right ankle. They added interior line depth by claiming 26-year-old guard Vinston Painter off waivers from the Denver Broncos.Game notes Gruden ruled rookie WR Josh Doctson out of the final preseason game because of an Achilles injury but said the first-round pick could still play in the season opener Monday, Sept. 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. ... LB Ryan Kerrigan is considered day to day with a groin strain. ... Rookie RB Keith Marshall is out at least three weeks with a sprained left elbow, putting his status in doubt with final cuts approaching. ...
