S J Shappley prisoner

I have just found that a relation of mine S J Shappley 19th Mississippi inf,was wounded at the battle of Williamsburg May 1862 and then captured.Regimental reports have him as "Absent in the hands of the enemy" until Oct 1862 Nov 1862"Absent sick at Richmond, does this mean He was exchanged.
Could someone please tell me if they think this was the case.
many thanks
