Bills won’t be punished by NFL for Jerry Hughes’ injury

Buffalo Bills won’t be punished by NFL for handling of Jerry Hughes injury.

The Bills are now up to five players having offseason surgery as Levi Wallace was added to that list on Tuesday.

Prior to Wallace, the most curious case for the Bills was defensive end Jerry Hughes. The veteran took to social media to say he had played through a wrist injury all season, despite never appearing on the injury report with such.

Then he later did have that surgery on it. If the Bills knew that and didn’t report it, that’s against the rules and the NFL investigated.

Well the results are in and the Bills were found to not be in violation of the injury report policy, the league told the Buffalo chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America.

Hughes was listed on the injury report throughout the season as just having rest days.
