Wood (neck) was released by the Bills with an injury settlement on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wood announced his intention to retire due to a neck injury earlier in the offseason, but he still remained on the Bills roster until Thursday as he continued with rehab. Now a free agent, the veteran center could sign with another club, though that would be a shocking turn of events.

Wood is nursing a neck injury that will force him to retire, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It isn't clear when or how Wood hurt his neck, but Schefter notes that the 31-year-old's injury is partly due to "wear and tear." His loss represents a big blow to the Bills' offense as Wood has been an integral cog along the offensive line since Buffalo drafted him in the first round of the 2009 draft.

Wood suffered a broken leg in Monday's loss to the Seahawks and will miss the rest of the season, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wood was taken off the field on a cart after suffering the injury, which was the first indication he was dealing with a serious setback. His loss will be a big one for the Bills' offense, as he started every game for the team since 2013 and made his first Pro Bowl last year. Patrick Lewis is in line to take over as the team's starting center moving forward.
