‘"It’ll be more than a quarter," Mularkey said. "As much experience as he can get will obviously be a positive. The Green Bay scrimmage obviously helped. Every snap that he’s had, whether it’s been in mop-up duty or in these preseason games, is a learning experience. He’ll get something out of each one of them, and I think he has. We’ll make sure he gets enough to get comfortable once he gets going into the season."’

‘However, it is possible Parrish may be sidelined for the rest of the preseason and possibly longer if his wrist is broken. A common absence for a broken wrist is six to eight weeks.’

‘With the team’s important nickel back role up for grabs – that’s the player who is first off the bench when the defense goes to five defensive backs, which is often – Greer is committed to giving the kind of effort that provides peace of mind if not the desired end result. But the odds are pretty good Greer will nail down the No. 3 cornerback job.’

‘Kelly first hooked up with Cicci in October 2002 in a move to make the team more marketable to sponsors. Cicci said Kelly is very supportive despite the recent loss of his 8-year-old son Hunter, who suffered from Krabbe disease, an inherited degenerative disorder of the central and peripheral nervous systems. “He goes to every race he can, but he’s had to deal with the situation with Hunter,” Cicci said. “There was a lot of care that had to be given to Hunter, and it was a big responsibility for his wife, so he had to stay back and help her a lot of the time. He’s a very good family man.”‘

‘Although a timetable has not been established for his return, the injury is not classified as season-ending.’

‘In a two line release from the Buffalo Bills it was announced that rookie wide reiver Roscoe Parrish had surgery on his injured wrist. The extend of the injury is still not known. The Bills did say it was not season ending.’

‘The surgery took place after Parrish returned to Buffalo on Thursday to review test results with the team’s medical director, Dr. John Marzo.’

‘This does not seem to be a season ending injury and Parrish could be back some time in September.’

‘”I like to play against their best,” Mularkey said. “I’d like our line and Mike Gandy to get a chance [against Freeney]. I think it ought to be the best against the best.”‘
