The locals are talking about Crowell being placed on IR ending his season.
Apparently this comes out of the blue and might be a retaliation from the Bills management to Crowell who, being peeved that he hasn't had his contract extended, decided to have surgery on his knee 3 days before the start of the season. Bills HC **** Jauron said that Crowell's decision to have surgery took him and the medical staff by surprise.
The Bills don't really have a SLB on the roster to take Crowell's spot. Both possible replacements, Ellison and DiGiorgio, are more WLB types, neither weighing more than 220# soaking wet. I would imagine both would get eaten alive playing hammer over top of most TE's in this league.
