Corp000085 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 as i said before, we can all be thanking our lucky stars that it wasn't an hip, leg, knee, ankle or foot injury. Roscoe can deal with a hand injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Drane Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Unfortunately, I think both are true. A sprain can be a tear of the ligaments. No break, but a quick surgery to repair the tear. If there is a tear with surgery, 4-6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanners Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Bills wide receiver Roscoe Parrish had surgery on his injured right wrist Friday, but the rookie is expected to play this season. The second-round draft pick out of Miami fell on his right wrist while diving for a pass during training camp on Wednesday. The Bills, who will play their preseason opener in Indianapolis on Saturday, didn’t announce the nature of Parrish’s injury or give a timetable for his return. The surgery took place after Parrish returned to Buffalo on Thursday to review test results with the team’s medical director, Dr. John Marzo. Parrish’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, didn’t return telephone messages left by The Associated Press. Parrish was the Bills’ top draft pick after the team traded its first-rounder to Dallas for the right to select quarterback J.P. Losman in the first round last year.

Bob in SC Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Why all the mystery? Would anyone care to speculate on why we don't have the facts by now? This is pre-season - its not like we are hiding an injury from our Super Bowl opponents so they can't game-plan for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGTEleven Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 '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.' I think the Bills may want to look into hiring a better surgeon. How do you fix something if you don't know what is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to hide injuries now? I always love the lines like "Zhitnik will be out for 2 weeks with a lower leg injury"... translation "Zhitnik has a sprained shoulder" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 V-coach says he was set back to Buffalo to be reevaluated. That means they didn't like the first diagnoses and want a better doctors opinion. 405319[/snapback] I thought he would at least make it thru a preseason game or two before he got hurt.

theNose76 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 V Coach - Roscoe Parrish underwent successful surgery this morning on his injured wrist. The injury is not classified as season - ending. Wow thanks for the details. So he may be back next week, or by Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 so does this offically make this draft the worst draft in the tom donahoe era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemur King Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 This is terrible PR from our boys at OBD. I have to hear about SURGERY from the damn AP!? Hello- Bills- what is going on with our top pick?! I understand not announcing anything after X-rays, because maybe they were inconclusive, but if he's had surgery, there's been a diagnosis.

Coach Tuesday Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 so does this offically make this draft the worst draft in the tom donahoe era? 406359[/snapback] Just the unluckiest. In fact, our draft class was unlucky last year too. Seriously - this is quite a spate. No first round pick last year, no first, second or third this year. Makes it tougher - I'm pissed. Not at Donahoe tho, this stuff happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 so does this offically make this draft the worst draft in the tom donahoe era? Not necessarily. Parrish will likely play again this year, and there's a (small) outside chance Everett could as well. King and Parrish look good, as does Preston. Geisinger needs work, and don't forget some of the UDFA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
