Bills LB Matt Milano Limited in Practice; Play Saturday vs. Dolphins? Will linebacker Matt Milano’s knee injury keep him out against the Miami Dolphins?

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Good to go Week 15 Milano (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game versus Miami.

Impact Milano has been considered day-to-day with a knee injury that kept him sidelined during practice Tuesday and Wednesday. While he only managed to log a limited session Thursday, the linebacker is nonetheless still scheduled to play Saturday. Milano followed a similar practice structure last week before playing every defensive snap in Sunday's win over the Jets, so his usage doesn't figure to be limited while facing Miami's high-flying offense either. The 28-year-old has accumulated 77 tackles, one sack, two fumble recoveries and eight passes defended, including two interceptions, over 12 games this season.

Impact Milano continues to deal with the knee injury that hobbled him last week in practice, but considering he played in Week 14, he seems likely to be able to go Saturday versus the Dolphins. In the off chance he can't play, Tyrel Dodson would step into a larger role.

Logs nine tackles, recovers fumble Milano recorded nine tackles (seven solo), two passes defensed and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.

Impact Milano, who entered the Week 14 matchup versus the Jets with a questionable tag due to a knee issue, didn't show any signs of injury with his game-high nine stops. The 28-year old also recovered a fumble late in the fourth quarter to keep it a two-score game, and he'll now enter this weekend's contest against Miami with another anticipated every-down role.

Impact After missing the first two practices of the week, Milano was able to log a limited practice Friday, opening the door for him to play this weekend. The linebacker picked up the knee injury in the Bills' Week 13 win over the Patriots. If Milano is unable to play versus the Jets, the Bills could turn to A.J. Klein or Tyrel Dodson to replace him in the starting lineup at linebacker.

Impact Head coach Sean McDermott referred to Milano as day-to-day with the knee injury, which the linebacker presumably picked up during the Bills' Week 13 win over the Patriots last Thursday. Milano will have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field before the Bills decide whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's contest against the Jets. Through 11 appearances on the season, Milano has tallied 67 tackles, six pass breakups, two interceptions, one fumble recovery and one touchdown.

Fills box score in win Milano recorded 12 tackles (eight solo), including one sack, and recovered a fumble during Sunday's 31-23 win over the Browns.

Impact The 28-year-old showed up all over the field with fellow starting linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (groin) sidelined Week 11. Milano recorded double-digit tackles for the second time this season, and he also came away with his first turnover and first sack of the season. Even though Milano already played nearly every defensive snap in all but two of his nine games this season, he could continue to see increased production if Edmunds remains out against Detroit on Thanksgiving Day.
