Price Put On IR

Buffalo Bills receiver Peerless Price's season is likely over after he was scheduled to have surgery Friday to repair a disc in his neck. Coach Dick Jauron said the team will place Price on injured reserve, making him the eighth Bills player -- and fourth starter -- on the season-ending list five weeks into the campaign. However, the Bills will get Keith Ellison back after the linebacker missed most of September with an ankle injury. The announcement came as a surprise, because Price had not missed practice until Friday. He was noticeably stiff -- unable to turn his neck -- when he spoke to reporters at his locker Wednesday. Jauron said he believed the neck problem developed over the course of Price's career and was not the result of a particular hit. In four starts this season, the nine-year NFL veteran had seven catches for 68 yards.
