For the second straight week, the Bills were forced to place one of their receivers on injured reserve.
On Tuesday, the team announced that injury-plagued veteran Roscoe Parrish will miss the rest of the 2011 season, after injuring his ankle during Sunday's win against the Raiders. In two games, he only caught one pass for 16 yards.
The 2005 second round pick has spent most of his career as a punt returner and slot receiver. Last year, Parrish was having a career year (33 catches, 400 yards, 2 touchdowns) in Chan Gailey's new offense, before breaking his wrist and missing the final eight games.
To take his place, the Bills promoted receiver Naaman Roosevelt from the practice squad.
Last week, Buffalo was also forced to put receiver Marcus Easley on injured reserve, due to a heart ailment. His spot on the 53-man roster was filled by Ruvell Martin.
