Buffalo’s Merriman done for season
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. » Shawne Merriman’s first season with the Buffalo Bills ended before it even began.
Merriman was placed on injured reserve yesterday because of a nagging Achilles’ tendon injury, culminating a tumultuous year for the one-time feared pass rusher.
The Bills claimed Merriman off waivers earlier this month, three weeks after he was placed on injured reserve by the San Diego Chargers because of a calf injury.
In his first practice with Buffalo on Nov. 10, he lasted just 15 minutes before re-injuring his Achilles’ tendon.
