Not so sad. He's had a terrific 11-year career and will be 33 in a couple of weeks. He's been an all-pro twice (both times for the Bills) along the way. He did very, very well in the NFL, and it's probably time to move onto the next stage of his life. 

Yes, but sad that his career is winding down. Sas for us as he will be missed. I had hoped he could be a Darrel Green, or Pat Fischer (longevity)....

They will be missed. I'll never forget Micah's interception again NE in the playoffs. We were blessed having both these warriors. 

That was a thing of beauty!

Hyde and Epenesa will both be inactive this week. According to reported comments from McDermott, Hyde is most likely to be IR'd, but nothing has been decided yet.

 

I'm sure you're reporting what you've heard, but could you include a link, or some other identifier, for "reported comments from McDermott"? 

On WGR show? 

On One Bills Live?

Over his shoulder whilst being chased out of Buffalo Wild Wings by a crazed Weasel? 

What?

If so and IF hyde, poyer, and tre are all gone....and notwithstanding reid the LS....does that make JA the longest tenured Bill? 

 

Negative.  Dion Dawkins and Matt Milano.

 

I don't know if you'd want to count Shaq Lawson, who of course was drafted by the Bills and played for them the 1st 3 years of McDermott's tenure, then left for 2 teams in 2 years, then came back.

 

Lot of "If " on Tre and Poyer

Back atcha Webslinger, that says "multi week absence".  Bills are historically reluctant to IR players who will be out 3 weeks or less, and McDermott was calling him "day to day" earlier in the week, so where/when was the IR part said?

We were privileged to have the safety duo of Hyde and Poyer for as long as we did.  It was like having two more DCs out there on the field whose effect on the defense and the younger secondary players will be a great loss.

If he goes on IR he can return after 4 games and we have four games left.

 

Source: Sean McDermott ruled out Bills S Micah Hyde (neck stinger) and DE A.J. Epenesa (ribs) for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys during his Friday appearance on WGR550.

 

Damn. We cannot win without a Samoan.

Shame.  While athletically maybe he's not what he used to be...he's super smart out there.  Pre-snap he can foresee some plays based on how opponents line up...and helps direct where our defenders should be.

And still can't get there in time or stop the play

[Livinginthepast]

Hyde, Poyer and Milano were such clutch players. But Hyde and Poyer are shadows of their former selves and Milano suffered a possibly career altering injury. Breaks my heart that we didnt win a championship already with these guys, they really deserve it!

[Dr. K]

I think he should retire to avoid ending up with possible serious consequences from a spinal injury. 

[gonzo1105]

I think they might keep Poyer next year just because they dont' want to have to replace both at once but I think Hyde and Tre White are gone and they will move on to younger more explosive players. I expect a Safety in the high to mid rounds next year.

[machine gun kelly]

I normally don’t like the doom and gloom talk, in this case it’s warranted.  His contract is up this year, and although he has it between the ears, his legs have slowed.  I’d say it’s time if he is placed on IR he won’t return.

[Pete]

Could Hyde be signed on cheap to be back up S and mentor our new S?

He hasn’t made his typical Micah Hyde plays this year and with yet another neck issue it’s probably smart for him to call it a career. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills are starting two new safeties next year. 

Agree. There will be two new safties.

 

I'm not sold on both Cam Lewis and Tyler Rapp. They may start one.

 

I know they aren't going to draft a starter... so what fruit can be found on the FA market? Beane was kicking the can down the road with safety, now he's forced to deal with it.

[Your Brown Eye]

I love the guy, but you are tugging on a teet that is not giving any more milk

[BBFL]

Hyde’s best plays will always be the onside recovery for a TD and that diving INT in the 21/22 playoffs… Completely turned the whole dynamic of each game; nail in the coffin type plays. He’s had some gems but they were definitely wow plays. 
 

Sad to see him go but in the interest of the way the NFL is now, you need an athletic guy back there.

I think that’s the only option for him and Poyer. The nod goes to Po for being slightly more capable to not have another long term injury.

Tug on anything long enough you are able to milk it. 
 

At least I should tell my wife that.

"Both ruled out for Sunday" referred to Hyde & Epenesa after not practicing I believe.

Oh oh ok cool 

[JohnNord]

Even though he hasn’t been the same player, it’s not like he’s been a liability in defense this season.
 

He’s been decent and has helped prevent deep passes.  Where he’s dropped off at is INT’s.   The only bad plays I can remember was when he tried to cover Ridley one-on-one on a C1 blitz.  A situation he probably shouldn’t have been in. 

[nucci]

Unfortunately yes. A great player but last season's injury was pretty serious. Probably shouldn't risk another

[L Ron Burgundy]

This is bad.  He and Poyer haven't been good this year but we've got horrible backups.  

[Jerome007]

We have been blessed to have this incredible safety duo. They - and the "bend but don't break" defensive approach so many fans seem to hate -  is why the Bills almost never got burned for long plays, or have a guy that was somehow not covered. But yeah, Hyde, Poyer and Tre are likely done. Hopefully  the Bills can win the Superbowl this year so they go out as champs!

End of an era for sure.

That's why Tyler Nubin is our first round pick.

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Yeah he's done 

[Toyo321]

Not worth risking partial paralysis permanently to play football.  He is done and his doctors have probably already told him this numerous times.

 

He had a good run with the Bills.

[GoBills808]

Hope so

 

Enjoy life dude, no sense risking some big spine injury

If he’s put on it’s for 4 games. Bills have 4 games left. He can be reactivitated for the playoffs from i season IR.

Based on what we've seen with Micah, last years neck injury and I  believe the related stingers this year, the signs are clearly there for the end being near. I didn't say IR was stated anywhere.

Beg pardon, this is your post to which I originally responded:

 

 

I've since found the link to the presser where McDermott was asked and said it's still under discussion, both AJ and Micah could wind up on IR, but Micah is more likely (or something to that effect)
