nucci Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just saw this posted on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/n...ign=Twitter_atl Mario and Kiko both had hip surgery! Robert Woods an ankle procedure. Here is the rest of the list: Edge rusher Jerry Hughes (shoulder), cornerback Stephon Gilmore (hip), cornerback Leodis McKelvin (hip), tight end Scott Chandler (knee) and wide receiver Marcus Easley (knee) all went under the knife after the season, according to Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News. Safety Aaron Williams (shoulder) and wide receiver T.J. Graham(hip) are also recovering from surgeries, per ESPN.com's Mike Rodak. Count them folks...ten starters. Is this a problem with trainers or just bad luck? Neither, it's called football. Players get injured and there is not much you can do to prevent it from happening.

Is this a problem with trainers or just bad luck? WTF is in charge of hips? 5 hips? I've never seen more than 2, maybe 3 hips. 5 hips? I'm tellin you heads are gonna roll. This did make me cringe a bit...Nigel Bradham took Alonso’s place with the linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Is this a problem with trainers or just bad luck? It's the turf. Astroturf and competitors to be specific. Start the groundswell: grass in the new stadium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 You guys are totally wrong!! The torn labrum had kiko surgery! hahahah Neither, it's called football. Players get injured and there is not much you can do to prevent it from happening. Not this many going into a season. This has been going on for years now. Bills players getting injured at what appears to be a higher rate than rest of NFL. Grass in new stadium (even if it is a retractable dome I'm sure it can be done).

YoloinOhio Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) These surgeries are done to clean up areas of concern so that the players can have decreased risk of being out during the season or have their play affected by lingering issues. It is not uncommon and unless guys are missing TC because of it, which the indication is they will not, it is nothing to worry about and in fact is a positive thing that these things are being fixed up. Doctors will recommend surgery if they aren't confident rest will take care of it. I would rather these guys go into the season healthy. Edit: I also don't mind that they aren't participating in OTAs considering how we have already seen freak season-ending ACL tears. Unless it is the WRs needing to develop chemistry with the QB, OTAs are as much for guys trying to secure a spot on the roster as anything. Guys like Mario, Kiko, Woods, Gilmore, etc. have starting spots locked up anyway. Edited May 29, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Not this many going into a season. This has been going on for years now. Bills players getting injured at what appears to be a higher rate than rest of NFL. Grass in new stadium (even if it is a retractable dome I'm sure it can be done). Just google NFL offseason surgeries, here's a list of notable players: Dashon Goldson Calvin Johnson Russell Okung Tracy Porter James Laurinaitis Kam Chancellor Tony Romo Eli Manning Demarcus Ware Cam Newton Andy Levitre (hip hilariously) Manti Te'o Trent Richardson I could go on, but I think you get the point. Most of these are preventative surgeries. It's the NFL, lots of players opt for offseason surgeries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can look up injuries from last year to prove you are incorrect. Also, you say it appears to be a higher rate. Could be because Bills are the team you follow. Last year Packers lost Rodgers, Cobb, Nelson, Finley, and Lacy was hurt for a while. Edited May 29, 2014 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
