Bills C Eric Wood out for season after breaking leg at Seattle

SEATTLE -- Bills center Eric Wood will miss the remainder of the season after breaking his right leg during Monday night's 31-25 loss to the Seahawks, Buffalo coach Rex Ryan confirmed.

"That's a huge loss because I think he's the best center in football," Ryan said. "But we got to find ways to overcome it."

It's the second time in Wood's career that he has suffered a broken leg. He broke two bones in his left leg as a rookie in 2009, causing him to miss the final six games of that season.

Wood's right leg became tangled up during a 1-yard touchdown run by Mike Gillislee early in the fourth quarter. He remained on the ground for several minutes as trainers called for a cart to carry him off the field.

Wood, who has served as a team captain, had played in every game over the past four seasons for the Bills. He was replaced by third-year lineman Ryan Groy.

The Bills' first-round pick in 2009, Wood made his 104th career start on Monday night for Buffalo.
