Nick Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 This is huge. He's the Kyle Williams of our offense. Such a stand-up, kind and thoughtful person as well. Class all around. Hope it's not serious to the point it affects his life off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he got a chance to play in the playoffs, and I really hope this doesn’t change his life off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Jesus I just hope he's okay for the rest of his life. Awful. Center is now a need, thankfully we have a pretty good chunk of money in cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The telling part is that it wasn't one specific play...."wear and tear" related. Lot of different possibilities still in play, but sure sounds like the issue is no one wants to risk a Shazier-like event. Can't blame anyone if that's the case, the onus to get cleared to play again is likely going to be a lot higher with neck conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Well, good thing for the Bills, there are a couple of really food centers in this draft. Billy Price, James Daniels, Frank Ragnow, Mason Cole. That can be a easy fix for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Unfortunate for him and the Bills. Hopefully this doesn't affect his life off the field going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Wood’s statement sheds a little more light: Good thing is he’s likely ok given it was found on a season-ending routine physical but post-Shazier I suspect we will see more cases like this in the future. No team wants to see that type of situation re-occur so the risk they are willing to assume is likely a lot less now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Heck of a guy. Great leader, good player... It sucks but I'm glad his health is being put first. And I know it sucks that we have had to find out the way but I'm sorta glad we will be able to see what Ryan Groy can do. I assume he will be the new starting Center next year. He was awesome when Wood was out the entire season. And he fits what Daboll wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMountainGoat Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 His impact off the field has been immense and I can imagine the Bills wanting to keep him around in some form of role On the field I don't actually think it's a huge impact, and certainly don't see a major draft need. Groy has been very good when he has played and I don't see much of performance drop from Wood. It increases the chances we draft a Guard as we are thinner at interior O line, but that was already a need with Incognito getting older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 That's a big loss to not only Buffalo, but the NFL as a whole; Wood was a very good center for a long time. Good luck in the next chapter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Terrible news. Like others have said, I am just glad it was found during an end of the season physical exam and not something that happened on a specific play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
