The Buffalo Bills' firm stance on first-round pick Shaq Lawson not needing shoulder surgery turned into a flub Monday when they revealed that he will actually need surgery -- oops? -- but it's not the first time in recent history that the team has found itself in an embarrassing injury-related situation.
Soon after the Buffalo Bills were eliminated from the playoffs late in the 2013 season, rookie quarterback EJ Manuel -- then Buffalo's starter -- injured his knee in a Week 15 win over the Jaguars. It was the third time that Manuel had injured either of his knees that season, and with the Bills in range to nab a top-10 pick in the 2014 draft, it seemed logical to rest the team's promising first-round pick.
