MATT MILANO NEWS

Limited to begin week Milano (pectoral) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact The Bills are continuing to ease Milano back into action, while he played just 19 defensive snaps during Sunday's win against the Jets. The standout linebacker will work to ramp up his activity ahead of the Week 8 divisional contest against the Patriots.

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Eased back in Milano tallied two tackles and half a sack during Sunday's win at the Jets after missing the two previous games with a pectoral injury.

Impact Milano is still far from perfect health, as coach Sean McDermott has stated the team will have to build up his reps. He was only able to play 19 defensive snaps Sunday, though given the magnitude of this week's game against the rival Patriots -- plus the extra week of healing -- we'd expect Milano to have a significant jump in play count for Week 8.

Back at it Sunday Milano (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game at the Jets.

Impact Milano was a true question mark after missing Week 5 and 6, both prime-time losses for the Bills where their defense got exposed while missing a bunch of plays Milano usually is around. The Bills are still a pretty injury-depleted team, so Milano's return is a big boost, even in a heavily favored game.

Questionable for Sunday Milano (pectoral) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact The 26-year-old missed the past two games with the pectoral injury, but he may be able to retake the field Sunday. Milano practiced as a limited participant all week, so he could end up being a game-time decision.

Back to work, limited Milano, who's missed the last two games with a pectoral injury, is practicing on a limited basis Wednesday, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact The Bills have been gashed by the Titans and Chiefs the last two games, so Milano's ability to play this weekend against the Jets will be an important factor toward the team getting back to its winning ways. Milano may be more important than any player on the team outside of Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and Tre'Davious White.

Unable to play Monday Milano (pectoral) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Milano will spend a second straight game on the sidelines despite practicing fully Friday and logging a limited session Saturday. Tyrel Dodson is expected to start at weak-side linebacker in Milano's place against the Chiefs' powerhouse offense.

Listed as questionable The Bills have listed Milano (pectoral) as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Milano appeared to be back to full health after full participation at Friday's practice, but his limited workload Saturday has led to a questionable designation. Final confirmation on his status will come closer to kickoff Monday.

Back to full practice Milano (pectoral) practiced in full Friday, paving the way for him to suit up Monday against the Chiefs, Sal Capaccio of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Milano has missed two of Buffalo's first five games due to hamstring and pectoral injuries, but he's been terrific when out there, totaling 18 tackles, a sack and an interception. The versatile linebacker will be a welcome addition to Buffalo's defense for a daunting matchup against a Chiefs team that's churning out 29.8 points per game.

Upgrades to limited Milano (pectoral) was considered a limited practice participant for Thursday's jog-through session, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact While this wasn't a rigorous practice after the Bills got back at it following a rare Tuesday game, Milano did miss practice all last week before ultimately missing the Week 5 contest, so this bodes well for his chances of suiting up for another primetime game Monday, this time against the Chiefs. The team badly felt the loss of its starting outside linebacker in the 42-16 loss, with the Titans scoring a touchdown all six times they were in the red zone.

Out for Week 5 Milano (pectoral) did not participate in Saturday's walkthrough practice and has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Tennessee, the Bills official site reports.

Impact The Bills have the look of a powerhouse team, but the one area where they don't feature a lot of depth is at linebacker, where Milano is a solid three-down starter. The loss will be felt, especially against a team like the Titans that likes to pound the ball with Derrick Henry. This will be Milano's second missed game this season, as he sat out Week 2 with a hamstring injury after hurting himself in the opener.

Starts week with absence Milano, who left Sunday's win over the Raiders with a pectoral injury, will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Considering coach Sean McDermott labeled Milano "week-to-week" instead of "day-to-day" in his Monday press conference, the linebacker's status for Sunday's game in Tennessee is very much up in the air. Then again, we can probably say the same thing about the game itself considering the Titans' current COVID-19 issues.
