But this one went a little under the radar.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to see a long list of players on an injury list for training camp. Teams tend to play it safe with players, and they&#8217;re also fighting for their jobs, so it&#8217;s understandable that injuries might happen. This year&#8217;s list for the Buffalo Bills has already been well documented.<\/p>\n<p>This one was kind of swept under the rug a little though. This starting lineman appears to have quietly undergone knee surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Alec Anderson had knee surgery<\/p>\n<p>According to a TikTok post from Alec Anderson&#8217;s wife <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@alyshamonetanderson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alysha<\/a>, Alec had a minor procedure done on his knee on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>She posted a video of the young lineman working out with some dumbbells just hours after the surgery with her begging him to &#8220;just sit down and recover.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wyrk.com\/good-news-maxwell-hairston\/?utm_source=tsmclip&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Maxwell Hairston&#8217;s Injury Update: What It Means For The Bills<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her comment on the video said:<\/p>\n<p>Alec had a minor operation and is doing great!! He\u2019ll be back on the field in no time!! We love you guys! \ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc99 &#8211; Alysha Anderson<\/p>\n<p>Alec was a big part of the Bills&#8217; offensive plan last season<\/p>\n<p>While Alec wasn&#8217;t one of the Bills&#8217; starting 5 linemen throughout most of the season, you did see him on the field a lot. They woud bring him on as an extra lineman that would have to report as eligible to give the Bills a little extra size in their run game. He&#8217;s a big reason why James Cook had such a successful season.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, this procedure was really just minor and he will heal up in time for the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>6 Of The Most Devastating Buffalo Bills Injuries Since 2000<\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/wyrk.com\/show\/brett-alan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brett Alan<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bills&#8217; list of inactive players due to injury has been pretty long this offseason.
