I know there are conflicting reports on when Lawson will be back but I can tell you that he will not be playing this year. I talked to two friends close to the situation and he's literally working on swinging his arm 6 inches back and forth right now. He'll be lucky to be lifting in November.
Kind of disappointed to say the least.

I've heard the same thing. November at earliest and this was known at the time of surgery. he may be rushed back into the swing of things if rex is fighting for his job. but he should miss the season. russ Brandon and the smarter than the other team maneuvers have literally never worked for us.
Too bad about Shaw. How's Shaq doing?

I'll wait for a definitive answer.
if you've known anyone with shoulder surgery it takes a long time to get to the point of having flexibility and range of motion. meaning it takes a long time of rehab to get to the point to lift again. I would think Shaq would need to get his upper body back to be in game shape and be effective. the bills gambled and it burned them in the short term. we will see if he bounces back and has no issues. then it wouldn't be the worst thing if he has 4-6 really good years. but they looked to him to be an immediate fix for Mario leaving. and they don't have that. it is a front office fail for the nth number of times in this 16year drought
I've heard just the opposite - that barring a set back he will be back this year
Someone made the claim about the longer recovery time on a radio show this morning. Coach Sal refuted it and said the original 4-6 game time frame was most likely.
I don't know who to believe but I don't think it matters much. Even if it's just 4 games, we'll be lucky to be 1-3 by the time he comes back. I just hope he can get a few games in so he can get over the rookie learning curve now and be ready for next year.

As long as he makes it back for the playoffs & can play in the Super Bowl.

This is the Bills we are talking about. I'd be surprised if he plays a down in 2016. And if he does how long until its discovered he was rushed back and he gets hurt again ??

I do too, but I don't trust their medical staff anymore. Playing two games and damaging it again it would be seriously aggravating. I hope he's smart enough to get multiple opinions.

LOL! One and three? I see three and one (Arizona).
NE is a L even without Brady (especially since our only pass-rushing threat is Hughes and they'll game plan around him). Remember, they beat us 2x without him the year he was hurt.
Balt isn't what they once were, but they are not as bad as they seemed last year. The schedule and injuries ****ed them. And the opener in their house? L.
The travel may **** with AZ but they are a better team than us. L
The only possible win I see is over the Jets, and with a short week and this team's historical struggles in night games, that's not even a guarantee.
Looking at the schedule again, I'm thinking 3-6 at the break. Even with my doubts, I'll call the home opener a win, and there is no excuse for not beating SF at home. The Rams aren't good, but the WC road trip is tough, and we should beat the Fish, but it is in their house. I'll say we take one of those two.
The rest are losses.
I'm not even going to try to guess our record. I love our offense, I hate our head coach. No clue how to reconcile those 2 things to make a prediction that sounds accurate.
The Ravens are a shell of their former selves. Flacco's contract has hamstrung them and their talent has eroded thanks to that, uncharacteristically poor drafting by Ozzie, age, and FA defections.
Without Brady, the Pats are beatable. Garroppoolloo is a nobody and the Bills will feast on him.
The Bills own the Jets. It will be even worse if Geno starts.
They'll lose at Arizona for sure.
Again, the Ravens aren't as bad as they appeared last year. They had a brutal schedule and a ton of injuries.
The Bills have done well against the Jets, but it's a night game on a short week. And the Patriots own us but somehow that "one team owns the other" logic doesn't apply there? Come on. There are countless times when the Pats were mired in injuries and they still whopped us, including without Brady twice. And it's in Foxboro. IIRC, the only time the Bills have ever won there was when the game was meaningless for them.
Nothing new, the Bills like wasting 1st round picks.
