LeSean McCoy Injures Thumb; Robert Woods Injures Knee
By Ryan Brennan
Robert Woods also suffered an injury vs. the Bengals, but his return isn’t as promising as McCoy’s is.
Robert Woods was also on his way to having a productive day for the Buffalo Bills’ offense, but saw his day end fairly quick. He suffered a knee injury as the first quarter was nearing an end after catching a 13-yard pass from Tyrod Taylor.
When he was going down after the catch, he was met by three Bengals’ defenders that squished Woods and his knee. It was an ugly-looking injury that caused him to leave the stadium in crutches.
Reported by Chris Brown, Woods will be re-evaluated on Monday — hopefully with good news.
After the game, Buffalo Bills’ legend Thurman Thomas sent his prayers to Robert Woods on Twitter, which was equipped with a reply:

With Sammy Watkins already missing an extended amount of time, losing Robert Woods for a long time would certainly hurt the Bills’ offense. In the event that happens, Buffalo will have to rely on Percy Harvin, Brandon Tate, Justin Hunter and Marquise Goodwin moving forward.
Plenty of Bills’ players reacted to Woods’ injury:
Nickell Robey-Coleman: “Now that hurt my heart. That’s my boy. We go back to freshman year in the dorms together. As soon as it happened, I got on my knees and I started praying just for his family and for his health. I really hope he comes out on top of this situation he has going on right now.”
Percy Harvin: “It was disappointing. Rob is one of the toughest guys I’ve been around. He played with an injured groin all year last year. It’s tough seeing a soldier go down, especially one that’s in your position.”
Rex Ryan: “I told the official what I thought, but it is what it is. (Woods) had a Buffalo helmet on.”
For now, we just hope that Robert Woods isn’t forced to miss any time due to this knee injury.
