Percy Harvin is a question mark that no one seems to be able to answer.

The Buffalo Bills receiver, who sat out last week's game because of a hip injury, did not travel to London with the rest of the team for what coach Rex Ryan has called personal reasons. Bills General Manager Doug Whaley didn't have much more insight into the situation Friday.

"Still just a personal reason that he's out, and we'll address it as soon as we get some more answers on him," Whaley said at the team's practice facility north of London. "There's a lot of other things that are going on, it's just not strictly injury-related."

London game streamed

The NFL, already a $10 billion-a-year business, keeps looking to grow even bigger.

Sunday's experiment in streaming a game from London is testing out some of those potential new revenue sources.

The matchup between the Bills and Jaguars will be available only through Yahoo outside of the teams' home cities — not just within the United States but around the world. Kickoff is at 8:30 a.m.
