Might as well provide some good news. The article on BB.com was mostly about Butler's rehab (which has been going great) but this is the part that made me smile. It's not much of an update, but at least we now know he's in Buffalo rehabbing and getting ready for next season. Here's hoping he can make it!
Butler isn’t the only lineman set to spend a good portion of the offseason in Buffalo rehabbing after a major surgical procedure. He’s accompanied in the training room on a fairly regular basis by Eric Wood, who broke his left tibia and fibula in Buffalo’s Week 11 game at Jacksonville.
He doesn’t deny lining up next to the guy he was supposed to line up alongside for 16 games this past season, helps both of them with their current task at hand.
“It’s the same thing when you’re out there in training camp with two a days on a hot day,” he said. “Having your teammates go through it with you and keeping the mood light and realizing everyone is working together to try to get some wins. It has been helpful.”
The time spent in the training room and weight room together has helped to build a greater bond between the two linemen that spent just two regular season games working together on the right side of Buffalo’s line. This offseason however, they’re making up for the lost time on the field.
“It really has been a blessing to get to know Eric (Wood) on a much more personal level, doing rehab together and we spend time together outside of football,” said Butler. “He’s a tremendous player and the one thing I love about Eric Wood is he loves the game of football. There are so few people in the NFL that I think truly desire to be there every single day and he’s one of those rare people and a tremendous asset for the Bills and their future. Ultimately I think it helps with our chemistry down the road in practice and games.”
