I’ve learned that the shoulder injury to Buffalo Bills tackle Cordaro Howard that Chan Gailey touched briefly on during his press conference Monday, is actually a torn labrum in the shoulder. He also has a sprained rotator.
Howard first hurt the shoulder early in the game at Kansas City, which was his second career start at right tackle. The injury got progressively and he was really laboring before being shut down in the second half against Chicago this past Sunday.
Howard is working on strengthening the shoulder but won’t be in the lineup when Buffalo hosts the Detroit Lions Sunday. He hopes to be back when Buffalo travels to Cincinnati in two weeks. He is planning on having surgery on the shoulder after the season is over.
Mansfield Wrotto will get the start at right tackle Sunday, and rookie Ed Wang is expected to be activated as a game day reserve for the first time in his career.
Linebacker Andra Davis tried to battle a torn labrum over the past several weeks. It ended with him being placed on injured reserved yesterday.
