Shaq Lawson could miss half of the season, maybe even the whole season, if this report is accurate.

Buffalo Bills first round pick Shaq Lawson could miss anywhere from half of the 2016 season to the whole season while recovering from shoulder surgery, ESPN’s Louis Riddick told WGR-550 this morning.

That news comes as a surprise to some because the original reports had Lawson only missing 4 to 6 weeks of the regular season. The Bills had hoped that Lawson would be a Day One starter at outside linebacker when the team drafted him No. 19 overall until he aggravated his shoulder injury in a passing rushing drill.
