Whaley sheds light on Lawson surgery decision

Shoulder surgery for Shaq Lawson one week ago was successful. The rehab process will be in full swing soon enough for Buffalo’s top draft choice, but at this point a definitive timetable for the talented pass rusher is not realistic.

That according to Bills general manager Doug Whaley, who made an appearance on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550 Tuesday. Whaley explained that so soon after surgery it’s too difficult to ascertain exactly when Lawson can expect to be game ready.

“It’s too early in the process, but with everything that we thought going into the surgery it’s safe to say he’s going to miss some of the early part of the season,” Whaley said.
