The Buffalo Bills reached an injury settlement with center Eric Wood and released him, a source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
Wood announced in January that he could no longer play football after a post-season physical by the team revealed a disc in his neck was "dangerously close" to his spinal cord.
At what was expected to be a retirement news conference Jan. 29 attended by many of his former teammates, Wood instead gave a brief one-minute statement that he remained on the team's roster.
