Bills rookie TE Nelson doubtful
Posted September 24, 2009 11:00 pm
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills rookie tight end Shawn Nelson didn't practice Friday and is doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans because of a strained shoulder.
If Nelson doesn't play, the Bills will be down to two tight ends, Derek Fine and Jonathan Stupar. Nelson hurt his shoulder in the first quarter of Buffalo's win over Tampa Bay last week and didn't return.
Reserve defensive lineman John McCargo is also doubtful after missing Friday's practice because of a calf injury. Receiver Josh Reed and cornerback Terrence McGee are both questionable because of ankle injuries.
Starting center Geoff Hangartner (back), cornerback Leodis McKelvin (fibula) and receiver Roscoe Parrish (quad) are probable.
