Good news re: Byrd

[wmoz11]

The Bills are breathing a sigh of relief regarding free safety Jairus Byrd.

The injury that sidelined Byrd for Thursday's game is not the same as the ailment that forced him to have surgery last offseason, according to a team source.

The injury also is not viewed as serious, the source said.

Coach Chan Gailey said Wednesday that Byrd would not play the rest of the preseason, but there is a realistic hope that Byrd could be back by the regular-season opener. Even if he's not ready for the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 12, his current groin problem is not expected to linger throughout the season.

This could be one of our best defenders. I would hate to risk the rest of the year or his career by rushing him back to play Miami. Wait until he is 110%.

Yeah, no need to rush him back, but man, about time something goes our way!

If this really went our way Byrd would not have been injured at all this season.

Agreed. I'm not unhappy with George Wilson having to play anyways. Make sure he is ready to go before sending him back out there.
