Bills CB McGee, S Byrd undergo bye week procedures

The 3-5 Buffalo Bills are on their bye week, and as is common during an NFL team's bye week, the banged up Bills are attempting to get healthy.  For two key Bills defenders, that meant undergoing medical procedures.

ESPN.com is reporting via the AP that starting cornerback Terrence McGee had his knee scoped on Monday, and is expected to miss roughly two weeks of action.  McGee hurt his knee in a Week 4 loss to Miami, but despite being forced to miss some practice time due to the injury, McGee still made four straight starts after the injury.  There is a chance McGee might not be ready for the Bills' next game, a November 15 road date with the Tennessee Titans.

Meanwhile, rookie phenom safety Jairus Byrd continues to deal with a nagging groin injury that started prior to training camp in July.  According to a BuffaloBills.com report, Byrd admitted today that the groin issue that's been bothering him for the last few weeks was, indeed, related to the sports hernia injury that caused him to miss two weeks of training camp in July.  He met with a specialist in Philadelphia in relation to the injury yesterday, and mentioned that he underwent a procedure on the injury.  Byrd, too, is expected to be ready for the Titans game.  Byrd has seven interceptions in four starts this season and is a strong early candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Other brief injury news: Trent Edwards is expected to start in Tennessee... Aaron Schobel, according to the same AP article linked above, is expected to be ready for the Titans... Corey McIntyre, Jonathan Scott, Jamon Meredith, Kyle Williams, Keith Ellison and Donte Whitner are all considered day-to-day or, in most cases, week-to-week... Bryan Scott has returned to the practice field and saw reps at linebacker on Tuesday, according to BuffaloBills.com.

I think McGee will be back for the Titans. He is a tough son of a b*tch and I am sure he had this surgery planned since the injury occured.
From Byrds response I read on the Bills home page I think he will also be back for the Titans game – hopefully whatever his Doc did can get some more speed back – I would love to see him take it to the house.
Schobel will be back for the Titans though I think this is a good opportunity to see more of Maybin.
Meredith I am pretty sure will be out for a few weeks so I hope J. Scott will be good to go soon.

McIntyre/Williams/Ellison I think will miss the Titans game (good opporunity to check out Harris).
And I still don’t know the full situation with Whitner – how serious is this injury? For starting off the season so well he’s been banged up for how many games now?

Only the Bills would have their strong safety to start the year now taking LB reps….

Get well McGee and Byrd. You’re two of the bright spots in a typically dismal year.

It’s an emergency option and you know it. They have Denney take reps at TE, too.
