Milano is active for Sunday night's contest against the 49ers, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Milano will officially make his return to the field in Week 13 after missing the entirety of the season to this point with a torn biceps. The linebacker compiled 30 total tackles (18 solo) while adding two interceptions, two passes defensed and a forced fumble over five games in 2023 before a season-ending leg injury. Milano will now slot in at weakside linebacker on Buffalo's defense versus San Francisco.
The Bills activated Milano (biceps) off injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable for Sunday's Week 13 game against San Francisco. Milano tore his biceps in training camp and had been on injured reserve all season until Saturday. Though he's still deemed questionable for Sunday, the veteran linebacker has a good chance of suiting up after logging a trio of full practices this week. Milano's return could lead to less defensive snaps for Dorian Williams.
Milano (biceps) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the 49ers, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Milano is one of the NFL's better all-around linebackers but also one of the more injury-prone ones. He's yet to play in a game this season after seeing action in just five regular-season contests in 2023. While he may not see a full workload right away even if he does return Sunday night, the 9-2 Bills have aspirations toward a deep playoff run, and having the heartbeat of their defense back out there would certainly help that aim.
Milano (biceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports. Milano practiced in full for the first time since being designated to return from injured reserve Nov. 13, suggesting he's trending toward returning for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. However, the 30-year-old linebacker must still be activated to Buffalo's active roster in order to suit up in Week 13. If Milano is active Sunday, it will be his first appearance of the season after tearing his biceps in mid-August.
Milano (biceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Milano was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window, but he was never expected to play versus Kansas City. Buffalo has a Week 12 bye, so a Week 13 return against San Francisco makes more sense for the Buffalo linebacker.
Milano (biceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through. Milano was officially designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He suffered a torn biceps back on Aug. 15 and has yet to play this season. Milano is not expected to be activated in time for Sunday's clash with the Chiefs, but a return to the field appears to be in the near future.
Milano (biceps) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Milano will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before needing to be moved to the active roster. The Boston College product is expected to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday when he returns to the field and is not expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs.
Head coach Sean McDermott stated Monday that Milano (biceps) will be designated to return from injured reserve this week. Milano's designation to return will be a major hurdle cleared for his return to action and open up the ability for him to practice with the team. However, McDermott said the Boston College product will not play Sunday against the Chiefs. With the Bills having a Week 12 bye, his next opportunity to make his season debut would be Dec. 1 against the 49ers.
Head coach Sean McDermott stated Wednesday that there is hope Milano (biceps) will return this year, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Milano suffered a torn biceps during training camp, but he's moving in the right direction, according to McDermott. The initial hope was the Boston College product would be able to return sometime in December, but it's not clear if that timeline may have shifted at all. With December still a few weeks away, it's likely a more definitive date for Milano's return won't come anytime too soon.
