ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus was excused from Wednesday's practice for a family matter, coach Doug Marrone said.

Dareus is expected to return to the Buffalo area by Wednesday evening.

"I knew about it last week. It was something coming up that was personal for him, so I excused him," Marrone said. "It was nothing related to anything that has to do with him. It's family."

Meanwhile, long snapper Garrison Sanborn was limited in Wednesday's practice with a knee injury. The Bills worked out two long snappers Wednesday but it was more precautionary; Sanborn is expected to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, Marrone said.

Here is Wednesday's full injury report:

WR Marcus Easley (knee)

DT Marcell Dareus (not injury related)
