Bills' Reed out of hospital; McGahee's status uncertain

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.

If Reed and Aiken are both out, backups Roscoe Parrish and Andre' Davis would move up to fill their spots behind starters Lee Evans and Peerless Price.
