Fans, media, current and former Buffalo Bills react to Eric Wood retirement

A player’s worst fear is suffering an injury that would put an end to their NFL career. Unfortunately, for center Eric Wood, that nightmare became a reality as everyone learned Friday morning. Wood, a nine-year player for the Buffalo Bills shared the news on what happened.

I was diagnosed with a neck injury as part of my season-ending physical with the Bills. After consultation with Dr. Cappuccino and other physicians, I was informed that I was no longer cleared to play football, even with surgery or further treatment.
