Jerry Jabber Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Just received a text from the Bills that they placed RT Chris Hairston on IR. The injuries to this team never cease year after year. Edited December 6, 2012 by Jerry Jabber

DrDawkinstein Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 DOOOOOMED!! PTR But in all serious, this does kinda suck. Unless you are one of the "fans" that wants to lose out for a draft spot.
CodeMonkey Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 As big as they are, as fast as they are, and being padded up so much they have no fear of turning themselves into a projectile I'm surprised there aren't many more injuries to all teams. Such a short season helps with that I suppose.
Jerry Jabber Posted December 6, 2012 Author Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Down to our 3rd RT. First it was Kelsay this week, now Hairston. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE Edited December 6, 2012 by Jerry Jabber

Such a short season helps with that I suppose. And this year has been pretty good for the Bills wrt injuries, compared to the previous 3-5 seasons. I think we're still about average in the league when it comes to injuries. Been a fairly healthy year for us so far, but by week 12, this stuff starts to happen.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 By week 13 a sprained ankle gets you on IR. PTR
Fixxxer Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Does anyone know why Wood is still on the active roster list? I was reading the official website and he still on while Hairston is already on the IR list. BTW, we signed a guy named Chris Scott from the Titans PS. http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/Chris-Scott/a21c29c1-0792-44f3-9c2d-33440b84084d
John Gianelli Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Jeff Faine is available. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/06/mike-nugents-injury-costs-jeff-faine-his-job/ I've heard of him! But he also was a Pro Bowl alternate a few years back.
mrags Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Is Pears done too? Thought he was just backing up now that Hairston played so well. Can someone confirm that Pears is in or out. Thanks.
DrDawkinstein Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Is Pears done too? Thought he was just backing up now that Hairston played so well. Can someone confirm that Pears is in or out. Thanks. Pears has been on IR which is why Hairston has been starting.
todzilla Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Wood is still hoping to get back before the season is out. Holding out hope its the short side of 2-4 weeks. Stinks about Hairston, I'm not a huge fan (prefer Pears), but the more work for Hairston the better.

Rockinon Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Young and Snow have been waiting for their chance. It will be interesting to see how well they do. Young started the opener as a true freshman for the Fighting Irish in 2006 and went on to start all 50 games in his four years. He hasn't started a game since. Snow was assigned to the practice squad in early September, released in October and re-signed the next day. He was promoted to the 53-man roster Oct. 19. He didn’t get into a game until Wood went down last week.
VABills Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Pat Williams has been getting time in goalline situations. Let him be the new iron man. Pro Bowler at two spots.
RyanC883 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 We should be ok. Lots of teams have nijuries stack up. The Steelers chronically have issues with their OL, and not nearly the depth we have. Packers have issues. Difference is that when your team is winning people notice the injuries less. Luckly OL is an area I think we have solid depth at.
