Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2019/11/20/la-rams-robert-woods-update-news-week-12/ https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2019/11/19/la-rams-robert-woods-update-personal-return/ " On Wednesday, McVay did open his press conference with an update on Woods. He remains away from the team and it’s unclear when he could return. “Robert Woods is still handling his family matter. He will not be here today,” McVay said. As for whether Woods will play on Monday night against the Ravens, that’s to be determined. McVay was asked when Woods would need to return to the team by in order to play this week, but the coach wouldn’t give a firm answer. He did acknowledge that Woods’ experience helps, and that he’d likely be able to play on a short week of practice. After the game, McVay didn’t have much of an update on Woods, saying he had to talk to the wide receiver before commenting on when he might be back with the team. On Monday, it was much of the same from McVay in terms of Woods’ status, but he did say there’s no concern about Woods’ wellbeing. “No, we feel good. He’s in a good place,” McVay said. “We feel good about where the situation is at and his wellbeing, and that’s very, very important to us.” McVay added that Woods is obviously still handling the personal matter and that the team will have “a little bit more of an update on that later on in the week.” Right now, they’re remaining quiet on the situation out of respect for Woods and his family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Interesting. This is the first I have heard of his absence. Some guys fly private jets home to have babies get back in time for the game, and some take more time. I would normally guess that this has something to do with dissatisfaction of how he is being used, but I guess I will give him the benefit of a doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 One of my favorite ex-Bills. Always giving max effort with lots of passion. Sounds like health of an immediate family member but I hope it’s something that can heal and improve 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Speaking as former military, it's AWOL. Maybe Bob is tired of Goff not being able to read a defense. He's had 5 games with less than 50 yards receiving this year compared to only 2 stat lines last year. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 He might still be at the afterparty for the tv show The Rookie, starring Nathan Fillion. Bob was a guest star. I think he's got an agent looking at good roles for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I saw this before their game last week. I hope everything is alright. It seems strange that there is very little info dealing with this, but I wish him the best. He was a good guy that wanted to be back home for family and this seems family related- so give him strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way. He was one of the receivers I wanted from that draft class. I get the feeling that he did not want to be here when his contract was up.

I think McDermott felt the same way. It sounded like Woods really wanted to be back on the West Coast and McDermott respected that. He wanted to build a team of people that want to be here and I think he knew that Robert Woods had other places on his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hope all is well for Bob and his family. Typically when something stays quiet and drags out like this, it's not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's too bad the Bills had a s-h-i-t-s-h-o-w at QB and another change at HC the year he became a FA. He would've been a great "process" guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the way McVay is talking, Woods is AWL - absent, with leave. You may be technically correct, but I always thought and recognized AWOL as the proper term ... that is, if you want the reader to understand the gist of the post. Therefore, AWOL would be a better choice. Furthermore, the Sci-fi series that started in the late 60's is called Star Track ... not Star Trek.

Steve O Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Pretty obvious he's taking a page out of AB's book - Looking for the Rams to cut him so he can sign as a FA with the receiver starved Patriots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"AWL" wouldn't be nearly as serious, would it? 3 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I don't think so? AWOL is absent with out leave. From the way McVay is talking, Woods is AWL - absent, with leave.
