The Facts: Reed is out indefinitely with injuries to his ankle and Achilles’ tendon, leaving the Bills minus one of their most reliable third-down receivers. Though HC 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.
Diehards Line:Reed, who was hurt in Sunday's loss to Miami, 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.
