ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Josh Reed is out indefinitely with injuries to his ankle and Achilles tendon, leaving the Buffalo Bills minus one of their most reliable third-down receivers.
Though coach Dick Jauron wouldn't say Monday how much time Reed might miss, it generally takes players two to three weeks to recuperate from such injuries, depending on their severity. Jauron also didn't indicate which ankle Reed hurt late in the second quarter of a 25-16 loss at Miami on Sunday.
Reed ranks second on the team with 26 catches for 288 yards. He is also second on the Bills, and tied for 16th in the AFC, with eight catches for 116 yards in third-down situations. Without Reed, the Bills will have to rely more on slot receiver Roscoe Parrish and rookie second-round pick James Hardy to play behind starter Lee Evans.
That's a very good point. Do you think Edwards will really look to his TE more if/when either Fine or Schouman gets more time, or is the offense just not structured to make that kind of use of the TE?
Interestingly, I was reading somewhere that Reed hasn't said he'll be out this week, even though he's limping heavily - I think it was on CBS Sportsline
