Of the five team captains that led the Buffalo Bills to their first playoff berth since 1999, three might not be with the team in 2018.
Center Eric Wood, one of those captains, announced his retirement Friday because of a neck injury discovered by team doctors in a postseason physical. The injury will prevent him from being cleared to play.
Two other captains, quarterback Tyrod Taylor and defensive tackle Kyle Williams, might not return next season. Taylor is under contract but could be released as the Bills look to upgrade from an offense that scored only three points in a wildcard playoff loss to Jacksonville.
