‘”Could be (back) as soon as two weeks, it could end the season…it’s unbelievable,” Wood said on Monday. “I was in denial that I got hurt. There’s literally nothing I can do about it. I played 49 straight games in college and never got banged up. The fact that I have to miss time ticks me off.”‘

‘In 110 career contests, the third-round draft pick in 2005 has posted 727 tackles, six sacks and seven interceptions.’

‘Wood missed nine games in his rookie season, two in 201 and seven more in 2011.’

‘Morrison was supposed to start at outside linebacker, but it was obvious during training camp he was too slow for the move. Arthur Moats won the job and later surrendered it to rookie. Nigel Bradham.’

‘While the Bills still cling to that hope they can run the table with their final four games to eke into the playoffs, I think the more realistic goal at this point is to hope for at least a split to get to seven wins. That’s progress, although slower than anybody would like.’

‘”It’s so disappointing that when it happened I was in disbelief that I just played the next play. I was like, ‘Oh whatever I’m not coming out.’ Then I felt a little instability on the next play and thought I better go say something.”‘

‘”It’s just tightness in the hamstring. I’ll be cool for Sunday,” said Johnson. “I’ll just get the treatment and be back on the field. It’s the same (as Sunday) just tender. It’s nothing serious. Nothing pulled, nothing popped, just tightness in the hamstring. So I’ll be cool.”‘

‘The 10-year veteran did not dress for a single game this season.’

‘Yeah. It is always tough to lose a good player. He is obviously one of our best players. We have gone through this before. Hopefully we will continue on in the same vein, we will not as well but we will try to as best we can.’

‘That was a good game for us. I think Kansas City was probably a great team win as well for us this year. That is what we have got to do. We have to continue to not just play well in streaks or play well on one side of the ball or the other. We have got to put it together and hopefully just continue from last week’s game. Just continue to do that.’

‘It is unbelievable. You do all you can to prepare. You keep your feet moving on every play. You think of all the things that could have gotten you in the past and you try and improve it for this year. Have a guy blocked with my legs moving and a guy comes flying down the line of scrimmage trying to make a play on the back. Not a dirty play. He dives right through the side of my knee when I have knee braces on, so fortunately (because) it could have worse. Like I said before, I was just in denial that I got hurt. I just kept playing because I (said) ‘There is no way I am staying down on this field. No way this is happening again.”
