Marcus Easley will miss another full season, after Bills officials placed the young wide receiver on injured reserve Tuesday. According to the Buffalo News, the second-year player has been diagnosed with a heart ailment, although it is unclear whether the condition is career threatening.
He has yet to take a snap during a regular season NFL game.
A fourth round pick out of Connecticut, Easley was drafted by the Bills in the fourth round of the 2010 draft. Coaches say he showed great explosiveness and big play potential as a rookie in training camp last year, before suffering a season-ending knee injury. After a promising showing during the preseason, it was believed that Easley could challenge for a starting spot alongside Steve Johnson.
Wide receiver Ruvell Martin, who was one of the team's final cuts, was re-signed to take Easley's place on the 53-man roster.
