    Knee Surgery for Ragland - IR Expected

    http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/08/10/report-reggie-ragland-knee-surgery-expected-land-injured-reserve/


    The Buffalo Bills' worst fears in regards to rookie linebacker Reggie Ragland's knee injury appear to be coming true.

    According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapport on Wednesday morning, Ragland will have surgery to repair a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

    Ragland was hurt Friday on a non-contact play toward the tail end of practice. An initial MRI was inconclusive, and the team said swelling would have to go down in Ragland's knee before a clearer image of the injury could be obtained.

    The team took steps over the weekend to prepare for a prolonged absence from Ragland by signing veteran linebackers Brandon Spikes and Brandon Hawthorne.

    Sounds like the second imaging test revealed additional structural damage within the knee beyond the partially torn ACL which is why he needs the surgery. They won't know till they do the surgery if this is a 6-8 week timeline or if he is done for the season.

          I think it's best to just call it a season and let him heal...

          Hopefully he comes back next season stronger.

                  That sucks, but it isn't the end of the season. Zach Brown's a stud against the pass. Spikes is a stud against the run. Teams will no doubt try to exploit mismatches when the wrong LB is on the field at the wrong time, but I believe they have the guys to minimize the impact of losing Ragland.


                  The D is still going to be better than last year.

                    IR is speculation to this point, please change title to speculation as that's all it is right now.

                      I think it is beyond the speculation point at this stage says it says "expected" on the Bills own website.

                      Total bummer.

                          Doug Whaley has quickly become the laughing stock of the NFL GM fraternity. Early returns on this draft not looking so good.

                              Idiotic poster. Soon to be owned again like he was last season.

                              Bills fans have an entire season to overestimate how much Ragland would have meant to the defense.
