Bills starting linebacker Angelo Crowell was placed on season-ending injured reserve Thursday in a surprise move that came after the player elected to have surgery on his left knee. The Bills issued a one-sentence release announcing the move hours after coach Dick Jauron said Crowell missed practice because he had elected to have arthroscopic surgery. It’s not clear whether Crowell had surgery before the Bills placed him on IR, and the team did not disclose the nature of the injury, which comes as Buffalo prepares for its regular-season opener against Seattle on Sunday.
