The Buffalo Bills had injury issues at linebacker last season. After allowing Tremaine Edmunds to leave via free agency, the Bills needed a young player to step up in his place. Not only did that young player step up, but he actually outplayed Edmunds by a significant margin. For a moment, it looked as if Buffalo’s linebacker group was going to be as good as it had been since London Fletcher and Takeo Spikes topped the depth chart.
Then, on a fateful day in London, the injury bug struck. From that point forward, it felt as if the Bills were continually shuttling players in and out.
