Bills WR Reed among 3 starters out for Jets game

ESPN.com's Tim Graham writes about all things AFC East in his division blog.

• Blog network: NFL NationReed hurt his right ankle and Achilles' tendon in the loss at Miami this past weekend. He ranks second on the team with 26 catches and 288 yards. Roscoe Parrish and rookie James Hardy will likely share duties replacing Reed.

Butler sprained his left knee in the first half of Buffalo's win over San Diego two weeks ago. Schobel injured a ligament and bone in his left foot against Arizona on Oct. 5. Jason Whittle will get the start for Butler and Ryan Denney will replace Schobel.

Nickel back Ashton Youboty (foot) is questionable.

The Bills have lost two of three and are tied for the division lead with New England (5-2), a game ahead of the Jets (4-3).
