Each NFL team performs post-season physicals on all their players. For the Bills and Eric Wood, this physical was going to be no different. After 9 years in the NFL, all with Buffalo, the physical would be a final step before the off-season.
Unfortunately the doctors revealed that through time, Wood’s neck had issues. Those issues led to the announcement yesterday that Wood’s NFL career is now over.
Wood was selected in the 1st round of the 2009 draft by the Buffalo Bills. He’s been a pro-bowler, multi-year Captain, and spent his entire NFL career with the Bills.
