Pittsford, NY (WGR 55) - Reggie Germany is no doubt hoping to still be property of the Buffalo Bills Friday after the team put him on waivers Thursday. Germany and undrafted free agent wide receiver Clarence Coleman both failed physicals before camp. There’s a 24-hour period in which Germany can be claimed by another team, but head coach Gregg Williams doesn’t believe anyone will pick him up, “Hopefully he’ll be ours, fortunately very few people are claimed off that (waiver) listing, but (hopefully) he’ll be back in the fold with us.”
If no one claims Germany he remains the property of the Bills but will have to go on injured reserve thus ending his 2002 season before it began. The second-year wideout still attended Thursday’s workouts but had no comment about his situation. Wednesday Germany told WGR Sportsradio 55 that he was likely headed for the PUP list after having microfracture surgery on his left knee. It’s a relatively serious procedure from which other NFL players have been unable to fully recover from. Bruce Smith is the only known player to successfully continue his career after such a surgery.
