Healthier in 2025 Milano recorded 67 total tackles (36 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over 12 regular-season appearances in 2025.

Impact Entering the 2025 season, Milano had played just nine regular-season games over the past two years due to a plethora of injuries. His 12 appearances this year marked his highest total since the 2022 campaign. The 31-year-old remained an impactful defender when on the field, ranking third among Buffalo defenders in both total tackles and sacks. Now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Milano will likely land a short-term deal with a team in need of a starting-caliber inside linebacker ahead of the 2026 season.

Logs limited practice Wednesday Milano (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Impact Milano logged his second straight limited practice after opening the week on the injury report with an ankle injury. The 31-year-old's status for the Bills' AFC divisional round matchup against the Broncos will likely depend on his participation in practice Thursday.

Full participant Thursday Milano (illness) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Milano missed Wednesday's walk-through but has regained health Thursday. He's expected to occupy his usual starting spot at linebacker against the Jaguars in Sunday's wild-card round matchup.

Won't practice Wednesday Milano (illness) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Milano played in the Bills' last nine games consecutively before resting with most of the defensive starters in the team's Week 18 victory over the Jets. The linebacker appears to have acquired an illness, but it will likely not stop him from playing in Sunday's playoff game against the Jaguars. The 31-year-old will have two more opportunities to elevate his practice participation and prove he is over the illness in time for Sunday's contest.

Limited by injury again in 2025 Milano recorded 67 tackles (36 solo) including 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 12 regular-season games with Buffalo in 2025.

Impact While Milano was one of the Bills' top linebackers whenever he was available, an early-season pectoral injury and late-season load management limited him to just 12 games in 2025. He has now appeared in just 21 regular-season games in the past three years combined. He'll turn 32 in July, and it's unlikely he'll ever again match the highest snap shares he took up earlier on in his career. With that said, he's currently set to become a free agent this offseason and could be a steady contributor for a team that sees value in a veteran presence at linebacker in 2026.

Logs seven stops vs. Philadelphia Milano logged seven tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Bills' 13-12 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Milano and Greg Rousseau combined for a two-yard sack on Jalen Hurts late in the third quarter. Milano is up to 67 combined tackles and 3.5 sacks through 12 regular-season games, and his sack total matches his career high that he set in 2020 (across 10 regular-season games). His final opportunity to set a new career high in sacks is this Sunday against the Jets.

Posts nine tackles in Week 16 win Milano finished Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Browns with nine tackles (four solo).

Impact Milano finished second on Buffalo with his nine stops. One of his tackles went for a loss, and Milano also notched two QB hits. The veteran linebacker has his two highest tackle totals of the campaign over the past two weeks -- he recorded 10 stops against New England in Week 15.
