ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills receiver Josh
Reed was released from the hospital Tuesday, two days after
suffering a bruised kidney.
The Bills didn't update Reed's condition or say whether he'll play
Sunday in Buffalo's game at Indianapolis. Coach Dick Jauron was
scheduled to update Reed's status Wednesday, when the team returns to
practice.
Reed was hurt in the second quarter of Buffalo's 24-10 win over Green
Bay on Sunday, when he was tackled after making a 6-yard catch. Reed
returned to the field later in the quarter, but was diagnosed with a
bruised kidney during halftime.
He was taken to a hospital during the game and spent a second night
under observation as a precaution.
Starting running back Willis McGahee was
also injured in the game when he broke a rib early in the first quarter.
McGahee's status is also uncertain for this weekend, although Jauron has
yet to rule him out.
Reed, Buffalo's second-round pick in the 2002 draft, has been used as a
slot third-down receiver this season. He ranks third on the team with 23
catches and second with 229 yards, and has also scored one touchdown.
Reed's injury could further deplete a receiving corps that's already
missing reserve Sam Aiken, who was
sidelined Sunday with a hamstring injury.
