Matt

Milano

Spector landed on injured reserve with a calf injury towards the end of the season. He started four games in place of Matt Milano and is now headed to a potential return with the AFC Championship game on the horizon. If Spector is indeed activated, expect him to play a reserve or special teams role. Milano (hamstring) was limited in the Bills’ Wednesday practice, but expect him to start with Spector playing behind him on Sunday.

Cornerback Rasul Douglas (knee) will also be active after both players missed last week’s game against the Patriots. Safeties Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp have both been listed as questionable for the week, as have Curtis Samuel and Cam Lewis. Things appear to be trending in the right direction for the Bills as they look to get healthy ahead of the playoffs, with several key defensive starters on the mend.

The Bills also declared S Damar Hamlin, CB Rasul Douglas, LB Matt Milano, WR Curtis Samuel, DT DeWayne Carter and T Tylan Grable inactive. The Bills’ defense will be without both starting safeties, its No. 2 perimeter CB and its lynchpin LB. The Patriots’ offense should be able to provide at least a few usable fantasy outings in this one.

The Bills’ defense is fairly banged up at this point. Joining Rapp in the questionable column are S Damar Hamlin, LB Matt Milano, CB Rasul Douglas, LB Baylon Specter and LB Dorian Williams. Depending on the game-day inactive list, the Patriots’ offense could have an easier time than expected.

Milano injuried his groin in the fourth quarter and will be replaced by Baylon Spector since Milano’s usual back-up Dorian Williams also hurt his elbow in his game. Milano just returned from a partially torn bicep two weeks ago and has been shaking off the rust. The Bills will hope this new injury isn’t serious becuase they need Milano to get back to his usual self if their run defense is going to improve.

Milano will make his season debut in Week 13 against the 49ers after suffering a torn biceps in training camp. A week of full practices for Milano capped his lengthy recovery process. Now ready to return to the field as a defensive captain, Milano should immediately boost a Buffalo defense allowing just 19.5 points per game through two-thirds of the 2024 season.

Milano has been a full participant in both practices to open the week and will presumably be a full participant again in Friday’s practice. The star linebacker suffered a torn biceps in training camp and has been working his way back to the field ever since. A full week of practice suggests he’s ready to go, but the Bills could delay his delay his return by another week if they wanted to take a more cautious approach.

It seems likely that Milano will make his season debut this week after suffering a torn biceps in training camp. Milano was limited all last week, and this is his first full practice of the year. Assuming we don’t see any downgrades on Thursday or Friday, we expect him to suit up against the 49ers on Sunday. Bills coach Sean McDermott would only offer an answer of “we’ll see.”

Milano closed the week with three consecutive Limited Participant practice designations but will ultimately wait until after the Bills’ Week 12 bye before suiting up. He appears highly likely to play in Week 13 given this week’s participation.

Thursday marked Milano’s second practice since he suffered a torn biceps during training camp. A staple of the Bills’ defense, Milano was expected to return at some point in the season, but when he would return was always up in the air. With the Bills officially opening his 21-day return window, they now have three weeks to activate him from injured reserve, which means the latest we could see him would be Week 14 against the Rams. Milano has been listed as a limited participant in both practices this week.
