The Buffalo Bills endured more than their fair share of injuries last season. Now, news has just surfaced that offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio suffered an in-home fall and just underwent hip surgery.

The unfortunate thing here is the 6-foot-7, 322-pound tackle is designated to miss entire offseason program.
Bills general manager Doug Whaley elaborated a bit on the accident.
“It just came up,” Whaley told Buffalobills.com. “It was a non-football injury where it happened. It had nothing to do with football. He wasn’t doing any football related activity. He’ll be ready for (training) camp.”
Kouandjio is in the last season of his rookie contract and started in five games in 2016. Obviously, this news does not help a Bills team looking to rebuild under a new head coach in 2017.
