What It Means:

He's going for a second opinion, but Ragland won't be available for Week 1 and could conceivably miss his entire rookie season. It's an especially big blow to the Bills because they already lost first-round pick outside linebacker Shaq Lawson to shoulder surgery. Lawson isn't due back before October at the soonest.

If healthy, our algorithms project Ragland for 101.80 tackles and 1.81 sacks this season. Buffalo ranked 16th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play last season.
