ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -First, Roscoe Parrish couldn’t persuade the Bills to trade him. Now, the NFL’s leading punt returner can’t even get on the field.
Parrish was careful in saying he didn’t want to “bad-mouth” anyone, including coach Dick Jauron, after practice Thursday. Noting that his “resume speaks for itself,” the fifth-year receiver still questioned the team’s decision to strip him of his punt-returning duties by leaving him inactive against the Jets last weekend.
Parrish tops the NFL career list by averaging 13.1 yards on returns. He was benched a week after his muffed punt led to the Browns scoring a field goal in the final minute of a 6-3 victory.
Running back Fred Jackson took over the job for Buffalo, which plays at Carolina on Sunday.
