NFL: Bills QB Edwards to see doctors for sore shoulder

Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards has scheduled visits with two doctors this week after complaining about soreness in his right shoulder.

The team said in a statement this morning that Edwards has not lost any strength because of the soreness and, after mentioning the discomfort, had a routine MRI on his throwing shoulder during his year-end physical.

The Bills released the statement after a local radio station, WGR 550, reported on its Web site that Edwards had an injured right shoulder. The station also reported the injury did not seem serious.

An e-mail sent to Edwards by The Associated Press was not immediately returned. His agent, Ryan Tollner, also was not immediately available.

In 14 starts this season, Edwards was sacked 23 times and knocked out with a concussion on the third play of a Week 5 loss at Arizona.

In Week 13 against San Francisco, he left after the first half because of a groin injury. He missed the next two games.

Edwards completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 2,699 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first full year as the starter. He also threw 10 interceptions and finished with an 85.4 quarterback rating.
