BREAKING: One of the NFL's best safety is out for the year...
Bills safety Micah Hyde will miss the rest of the 2022 season because of a neck injury, his agent, Jack Bechta, tweeted Saturday morning.
Hyde will be placed on injured reserve Saturday. He was not at practice throughout the week but did make a brief appearance in the locker room.
Hyde suffered a herniated disc in his neck during last week's game vs. the Titans. The safety went to tackle Tennessee wide receiver Robert Woods on a play. He had already been ruled out for this week's game vs. Miami but the injury was determined to be serious enough to sideline him for the year.
Hyde has been a key member of the Bills defense since joining Buffalo in free agency in 2017. In six years with the Bills, Hyde has recorded 14 interceptions and 363 tackles, while being a two-time second-team All-Pro and making one Pro Bowl.
The 31-year-old is coming off one of his most impressive seasons with the Bills, tallying five interceptions, 74 tackles and a sack. A former Green Bay Packer (2013-16) and native of Toledo, Ohio, Hyde and his teammate Jordan Poyer have cemented themselves as one of the best safety tandems in the National Football League.
A product of the University of Iowa, Hyde has played in 144 career games and has recorded 590 tackles, 22 interceptions and five sacks.
In 2017, Hyde earned Pro-Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honours with five interceptions and 82 tackles.
