On Tuesday, Bills first-round rookie Ed Oliver sent a message out on social media which disclosed he had offseason surgery. It was later revealed that the surgery was on a core muscle.
Second-round rookie Cody Ford then followed suit on Wednesday.
Ford posted a photo which said “surgery went great.” While he did not indicate the exact type of surgery, it appears to be a right shoulder or right arm issue of some sort based on the photo:
Thank you God❤️. Surgery went great ! Ready to get the recovery started. OneLove🖤 #RIPPAPA pic.twitter.com/scYbS3Rk8Q

Ford was injured this season in Week 8 against the Eagles, suffering an elbow injury. However, the photo below shows Ford in the Bills’ Wild Card meeting with the Texans. His left elbow, not right elbow, is wrapped:
The Bills had got into a weird place with the NFL as Jerry Hughes posted to social media that he played with an unreported wrist injury all season long. The league was investigating that issue and not updates have yet come about. Then Oliver’s injury, a core issue, also wasn’t reported during the season. Still, some players have surgery to “clean up” minor, lingering issues throughout the year. More on Ford’s injury will likely come to light later.
