Another fan expressed deep concern, as it is a neck injury.
Neck injuries are tough. I would not be surprised to see him retire..especially being a safety and how he plays. I know Kam couldn’t recover from his neck injury (well he did but would risk his life if he were to play again) I’m not sure how serious Micah’s is but still

A user said Micah is his favorite player and there is a story behind it.
Get better Micah, we are all praying for you. Remember it’s a game brother. We love watching you play, but you’re health is more important. You have been my favorite player since you hit me with a snowball in the Snow Bowl against Indy coming out of halftime.

What head coach said about Micah Hyde and his injury
Bills’ coach Sean McDermott confirmed the talented star is in good spirits and eager to get back to his game soon. “Hyde seems to be moving around or walking around in the building here. And he’s in there going about their business, trying to improve each and every day. We’re just going to work with them on their cadence and their timing at this point,” said the HC.
Hyde, who is under contract till 2023, is expected to make a return next year. Meanwhile, support kept coming from Twitter, wishing for a quick rehab. Hyde can also take a cue from NFL GOAT Tom Brady who survived a career-threatening injury in 2008 before making a comeback.
A Dolphin fan prayed for his speedy recovery.
Dolphins fan here wishing you a speedy recovery and hope everything goes well and we see you again on the field

A user said, missing him in the Bills team is a huge loss.
This is a huge loss for sure. For you more than anyone I imagine. The Bills play as a team, genuinely seem to like one another, and have come together in an incredible way. I’m sure you can still lead this team with your spirit and knowledge. Get well soon 23!

A fan wished him a rapid recovery.
This is terrible news, Micha Hyde is so much a part of the DNA of the Bills defense, part of the foundation, and everyone knows that, so sad he can't be with us and the Bills this season. The Mafia loves you man, I pray you'll be healthy for 2023, take care.
