The Buffalo News: Sports: Peerless Price out for the season
Buffalo Bills starting receiver Peerless Price was ruled out for the season by the team today due to a disc problem in his neck that will require surgery.
Price becomes the ninth Bills player to go out for the season due to injury.
Bills coach Dick Jauron said Price will undergo an operation later today and he would be placed on the injured reserve list next week. The injury came as a surprise to the Bills.
Price complained of neck stiffness on Wednesday. He was in more discomfort on Thursday and had a magnetic resonance imaging test that discovered the severity of the problem. Jauron said he believed that the neck problem was a cumulative injury and not the result of any specific play in a recent game.
Jauron said Josh Reed and Roscoe Parrish will share duty as the starter opposite Lee Evans in the two-receiver set. Sam Aiken also likely will see more time on the field at receiver.
