Bills, Shane Ray reach injury settlement
The Buffalo Bills and Shane Ray have reached an injury settlement. The pass rusher is now a free agent.
Ray, 30, was attempting a NFL comeback after signing with the Bills this offseason.
After a series of wrist surgeries, Ray sat out of football and then returned in the CFL. In 2022, Ray played in Toronto.
Originally entering the NFL as a first-round pick of the Denver Broncos, Ray won a Super Bowl as a rookie alongside Von Miller. He was productive for two seasons as he notched 12 sacks in that time. Then injury struck.
In Buffalo’s second preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ray sustained a hamstring injury and was placed on injured reserve.
Reaching a settlement with the Bills means once Ray is healthy, he’s able to sign with a new team. Had he remained on injured reserve, Ray’s entire 2023 season would be over.
