Buffalo News: Bills receiver Roscoe Parrish is busy this week
carrying a Nerf football. The Bills hope it won't be too long
before he's grabbing a real pigskin. Parrish said he is recovering
well from the torn ligaments in his thumb, which he suffered in
the Bills' win over the Raiders on Sept. 21. "Everything went
pretty good with the surgery," Parrish said after Bills practice
this week. "The surgery was only 20 minutes, so it wasn't a long
process. We have everything going pretty good right now, and I'm
just taking it day-by- day." After his surgery, it was estimated
he would be out of the lineup for four to six weeks. So he is
expected to miss the Bills' next game, against San Diego, on Oct.
19. The four-week mark is Oct. 21. So there's a chance he could be
ready for the game in his hometown of Miami on Oct. 26. If Parrish
were to miss six weeks and have no setbacks, he would return for
the game at New England on Nov. 9.
