    Only days removed from returning to Buffalo, Ravens running back Willis McGahee did his best to avoid any controversy today, saying he didn't want to relive his past.

    McGahee's time with the Bills ended with a bitter divorce, which sent the former first-round pick to the Ravens for three draft picks.

    He was considered a malcontent in Buffalo because he rarely attended offseason workouts there and then suggested in January that the Bills should move to Toronto.</p>

    McGahee said the reaction from Buffalo fans will not have an effect on him Sunday.

    "The stuff I hear on road games, there's not going to be nothing new," he said today. "That's in any city."

    When asked if he regretted any of his comments about Buffalo, McGahee played coy.

    "I don't know what you're talking about," McGahee said. "Right now, we got one thing on our mind, and that's to win."

    Asked about how he feels about Buffalo, McGahee said, "Buffalo is a nice city. Like I say, we're going to be focused, go in and get a win."

    McGahee also said he has no extra motivation for the game.

    "I don't have a chip on my shoulder," he said. "They didn't do nothing to me. At the end of the day, we're all going to shake hands at the end of the game and go on about our business."

    McGahee missed his first practice of the regular season today. He had complained about getting beat up after Sunday's 22-3 win over St. Louis.

    Asked if there was any chance that McGahee wouldn't play, coach Brian Billick said, "Not that I'm aware of."

    Practice notes

    Other notable absences from practice included linebacker Ray Lewis, quarterback Steve McNair (groin and back), cornerback Chris McAlister (strained knee) and tight ends Todd Heap (strained hamstring) and Daniel Wilcox (sprained toe).

    On an encouraging note, center Mike Flynn (sprained medial collateral ligament) and offensive tackle Adam Terry (sprained ankle) practiced. While Terry appeared to be limited to individual drills, Flynn, who wore a brace on his right knee, went back to his usual position with guard Jason Brown and tackle Jared Gaither on his left and guard Ben Grubbs and tackle Marshal Yanda on his right.

    Offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden (hyperextended toe) was also present, but seemed to be restricted to individual drills. Linebacker Gary Stills took part in stretching, but walked off the field shortly after the special-teams portion had ended.</p>

    They should move to Toronto. I liked him when he played for Buffalo when they actually had a good team.</p>

    That might actaully happen. I hear the Bills are trying to get a game played in Toronto. They also said that they want to "expand" their audience or something like that. We can expect that they want to move sometime soon?</p>
