Buffalo Bills fans learned the shocking news Friday morning that Pro Bowl center Eric Wood, who has been the heart and soul of the offense, had suffered a career-ending neck injury.
Multiple outlets confirmed the report about Wood and his career-ending injury. Wood, who turns 32 this offseason, played in every snap of the 2017 season.
However, we learned from Wood that following his year-ending physical with the Bills in early January, he was informed of the severity of the neck injury. After he consulted with physicians, Wood was told that he would not be cleared to play football, regardless of whether he underwent surgery or further treatment on his ailing neck.
