TERREL BERNARD NEWS

Officially questionable for Week 5 Bernard (pectoral) will practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Bernard is coming of back-to-back missed games and has been limited at practice, but he'll have a chance to retake the field Sunday versus Houston. The 2022 third-round pick played 100 percent of defensive snaps Week 1 before sustaining a pectoral injury Week 2.

Back on practice field Bernard (pectoral) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Bernard was working on the side during practice last week, so this seems like a step in the right direction for the Baylor product. The likelihood of him suiting up this Sunday against the Texans will be clearer if he can turn in a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Inching closer Head coach Sean McDermott expects Bernard (pectoral) to return to practice at some point this week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Bernard was actually practicing last week, in a limited fashion with a non-contact jersey on, so it's not exactly clear what McDermott is stating. It may be safe to assume that McDermott was implying Bernard will shed the non-contact jersey and be more of a full participant, which could put him on a trajectory to return in Week 5 against the Texans, after a two-game absence. However, further clarity will likely come later in the week once the team returns to practice and releases their first injury report.

Out for Week 4 Bernard (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.

Impact Bernard was a limited participant in practice Thursday, and he's expected to again do individual drills Friday. It's a positive sign after it was feared he suffered a serious pectoral injury in Week 2 versus Miami. Baylon Spector has been filling in as the Bills' top inside linebacker with Bernard out. Spector should see heavy action versus the run-first Ravens on Sunday night.

Gets back on field Bernard (pectoral) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bernard was already ruled out for Week 4 against the Ravens on Tuesday, but his return to the field is a positive sign of his potential availability for Week 5. However, in a separate tweet, Getzenberg, mentioned he was on the field in a red non-contact jersey, so it's hard to gauge how well he is doing. Either way, Baylon Spector should be the Bills' starting middle linebacker against Baltimore on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 4 Bernard (pectoral) will not play against the Ravens on Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This will be the second straight game Bernard will sit out due to a pec strain he sustained in the Bills' Week 2 win over the Dolphins. Despite the extended absence, head coach Sean McDermott relayed Tuesday that Bernard is improving in his recovery and doesn't believe the 25-year-old linebacker will require a stint on injured reserve, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. That could mean Bernard has a chance at playing in Week 5 against the Texans on Oct. 6, though that will depend on his practice participation leading up to the game. In Bernard's absence, Baylon Spector will continue to serve as the Bills' starting middle linebacker.

Out for Week 3 Bernard (pectoral) will not play Monday against the Jaguars, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bernard exited Thursday's win over the Dolphins early after suffering the injury and is still not ready to return and it could be a while before he's ready to do so. Head coach Sean McDermott told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News on Wednesday that there's no official update on the Baylor product's timeline and whether or not he may need to go on IR. Buscaglia also noted that Baylon Spector is expected to start at middle linebacker Monday against Jacksonville.

Candidate for injured reserve Bernard (pectoral) suffered a pec strain during Thursday's 31-10 win over Miami and is expected to miss roughly one month, making him a candidate for IR, Adam Schefter of ESPN repo...

Impact Bernard has avoided a season-ending injury, but if placed on IR he'll have to miss at least Buffalo's next four games. The Bills' defense has been impressive through two regular-season contests despite having to deal with a notable amount of injuries, including fellow linebacker Matt Milano (biceps), so it will be a notable blow for the team as long as Bernard is absent. Baylon Spector stepped in for Bernard on Thursday and seems likely to start Week 3 versus Jacksonville.

Tackling machine in Week 1 victory Bernard led the Bills with 11 total tackles in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Bernard posted a whopping 143 tackles last season, his first as a starter, and he's picked right up where he left off. With Matt Milano out for a good chunk of the season with a biceps injury, it would be a surprise if Bernard didn't lead the Bills in tackles, barring injury, and perhaps by a good margin. He's become a leader of this defense in just his third season and could end up being one of the league's better IDPs in 2024 if your format places a heavy weighting on tackles.
