Pittsford, NY - Rookie defensive tackle John McCargo was taken to the hopsital Saturday night, long after the Bills wrapped up their second practice of the day at St. John Fisher.

The team tells 13-WHAM Sports that McCargo, who just signed with the Bills Friday, was taken in an ambulance to the hospital for precautionary measures around 6:30 Saturday night.

13-WHAM Sports has learned doctors are running some tests, but the Bills had no further comment on what caused McCargo to be taken to the hospital. We are told that McCargo is expected to be released in time to be back with the team for a closed practice session on Sunday afternoon.

Hopefully the team is being extra cautious because of the weather conditions.

[Statman]

I guarentee he's alrigt!
It's a good thing for the media to get all hyped up over.

Unless there was a priest with his last rites gear following him, I'm sure he'll be just fine. The next few days they should go easy.

[shelby]

Probably dehydration/heat stroke. i hope he'll be ok.

Pads tomorrow for the first time, and the next three days are supposed to be the most hot and humid of the summer so far according to weather forcasts.

The trainers better keep their eye's on everybody, but especially the big guys.

I agree. With that said you'd think McCargo would be used to the heat considering where he played. I think he finally realized that he had enough money to be on Cribs!!!

[Goobylal]

If he's going to be released quickly, it's likely little more than dehydration/heat exhaustion. A heart problem would keep him awhile.

The NFL coaching staffs have to be very careful with this type of situation ever since the Minnesota offensive lineman died from heat related complications a few years ago.

Agreed, somewhat worrisome though that a rookie of all the players has seemed to have been the most affected. I would of hoped he would of been in some of the best shape. You know having had all the pre-draft workouts, and minicamps...

[camelcowboy]

Look on the brightside he could have been carted off the field after banging his helmet on the turf in frustration. I hope we see none of those this year for the bills.

Update:

Rookie defensive tackle John McCargo, a first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills, was treated and released from a Rochester-area hospital Saturday night because of dehydration.

Dehydration can be deadly.

[The_Philster]

I can believe it...It was bad out there. After Mikey, Stampede, and I got back from the pep rally for practice, I guzzled 2 bottles of ice tea and was still dying out there :ill:

[Bufftp]

Of course Phil, Ice Tea is not good for hydration-caffine acts as a diuretic.
Water is the best!

[FlyingDutchman]

Probably dehydration/heat stroke. i hope he'll be ok.

agreed. its ungodly humid and this is probably the first hes been running hard under the sun in a while.

[Billsrock4life]

Probably dehydration/heat stroke. i hope he'll be ok.

yeah thats what I was gonna say.......he should be better in a few days

[OpIv37]

as long as it's just dehydration- if he doesn't play, our DL is officially WORSE than last year (if that's even possible).

As per the link i posted above:

Rookie defensive tackle John McCargo, a first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills, was treated and released from a Rochester-area hospital Saturday night because of dehydration.Team spokesman Scott Berchtold said Sunday that McCargo, the second of Buffalo's two first-round draft choices, is fine after a brief hospital visit, which was made for precautionary reasons. Berchtold added McCargo is not expected to miss any practice time.
