26CornerBlitz Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 @mikerodak Aaron Williams keeping open possibility of retiring from football. He says his first hit upon returning will give him an idea of what's next @mikerodak Aaron Williams also revealed that he underwent a "procedure" on his neck about a month ago. He was cautioned he might not play again. @MatthewFairburn Aaron Williams started planning for life after football. Had surgery on his neck and was 50/50 about whether he could play again. @SalSports Some really interesting stuff from Aaron Williams on his injury, career, and future. Tweets coming with quotes.... Aaron Williams: "Coming from not feeling your whole left side, to maybe not playing game again, to being able to move the neck... ....to being able to work out, then having an opportunity to be on the field, it's definitely an experience I'll never forget." On possibility of never playing again, Aaron Williams: "It was too real to where I had to start thinking about what I wanted do afterwards" "I knew I had a few things (to do after football), but I didn't think it would be coming this time, this soon." -- Aaron Williams Aaron Williams: "Right before my procedure got done, that's when I knew it was 50/50 I could come back or find another career." Williams said he hopes to play again this year. He is cleared to practice. Bills have 21 days to activate him. More Aaron Williams: on re-injuring neck in Titans game after coming back: (next few tweets).... "It was first hit of the game. It was just the fight in me. Not really thinking of my health or the future. I was thinking in the moment.. ...I told myself 'suck it up, you've been hurt before, you've played hurt before, to give everything you have......" "Some of the hits did hurt where I was in serious pain.Took a couple plays off. I had to pass a lot of tests. I passed tests, finished game" Williams said he couldn't feel his whole left side while on the ground in Patriots game. Was tingling/numb all of 2nd half of Titans game. @mikerodak Aaron Williams said he was numb in 2nd half vs. TEN. "But I played with numbness before. It really wasn't something I was concerned about." @JoeBuscaglia Joe Buscaglia Retweeted Mike Rodak Just wow. The NFL is a scary, scary world. @mikerodak Aaron Williams: "When that first hit gets done, that's when I'll know if I should continue playing this game or it's time to move on"
26CornerBlitz Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia Likely no Gilmore, switching roles on the OL, & A Williams cleared, but mulling retirement? 5 #Bills practice notes :http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/buscaglia-5-bills-practice-notes-from-dec-10 best wishes for Aaron. He's talking about knowing from the 1st hit, but that might be too late. Is it worth the risk? I guess he'll have to figure that out.

The Big Cat Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I really don't like what Buscalia has become in the past two years.
John from Riverside Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Good thing Rambo is starting to emerge
Dorkington Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Hmm, I'd shut him down for the year, let him really heal.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 Aaron Williams: "An experience I'll never forget" (7:44)Bills safety Aaron Williams talks about his first practice since his neck injury suffered early in the season, the severity of the injury, and how it almost ended his playing career.
NOVABillsFan Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Do they have a well thought out report on AW or just a compilation of tweets from twits?
qwksilver Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Sounds similar to what Spielman went through. Hopefully he comes back 100%....
Dr. K Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 There is no way this man should be playing football. It's too much of a risk. Think about this, Aaron. The rest of your life is too important.
TheFunPolice Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 if all this is true how is he cleared to practice?
26CornerBlitz Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 if all this is true how is he cleared to practice? Good question, but I doubt that he's done any hitting at all.
UBBullsfan Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Probably not a coincidence that Mike Rodak put the photo of the Edelman touchdown where Aaron Williams injured himself. Rodak is a huge Patriots fan/Boston area native

K-9 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Well in his defense, that is the play where in original injury occurred. I actually think he originally hurt his neck last season. Others have speculated the same around here and I think someone brought up the possibility of a congenital condition a la Derrick Burroughs. I wouldn't blame him at all if he just walked away with some good coin in the bank and his health. GO BILLS!!!
