News broke on Friday that Eric Wood had suffered a career-ending injury that was going to force him out of football. As the day went on, it was revealed that the injury was the result of the wear and tear of the game. However, it didn’t change the fact that the result was still going to be the same, him having to retire.
According to a recent report from Buffalo News, Wood found out about his injury a couple of weeks ago. The injury was discovered during his post-season physical and it was determined at that time that Wood would not be cleared to continue his football career in the NFL.
