Back at practice Thursday Milano (illness) was listed as a full participant on the Bills' injury report Thursday.

Impact Milano returned to practice Thursday after he and several other Bills players were sidelined with an illness during the team's first practice for Week 11. Outside of his lone absence against the Jets in Week 9, the 28-year-old linebacker has played a prominent role for the Bills' defense this season, recording 43 tackles, five passes defended, two interceptions and a defensive touchdown. With team-leading tackler Tremaine Edmunds (groin) sidelined during practice Thursday, Milano could be used as Buffalo's primary run stopper against the Browns' rush-heavy offense Sunday.

Out with illness Milano missed practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Impact Several Bills missed practice Wednesday due to illness, as the hits are starting to pile up for a team that's lost two straight games, contests where it had double-digit leads in each. If there's a bright side, it's that whatever is running through the locker room is happening earlier in the week and there's time to rest and heal up before Sunday's game against the Browns.

Sheds injury designation Milano (oblique) was a full participant during practice Thursday.

Impact Milano missed the Bills' loss to the Jets on Sunday and was a limited participant in practice Wednesday. His return to full participation Thursday is certainly good news for the Bills' defense while also signaling the veteran linebacker should take the field Sunday against the Vikings.

Limited Wednesday Milano (oblique) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Milano was sidelined for the team's Week 9 loss to the Jets, but he returned to practice to start Week 10 prep. The sixth-year linebacker will have two more opportunities to log a full participation before the Bills need to make a decision on Milano's status for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Outlook better for Week 10 Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Milano, who missed Sunday's loss to the Jets with an oblique injury, "is improving," Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The Bills have a fantastic defense, but they are not very deep at linebacker and got absolutely gashed by the Jets' running game without Milano out there. Milano is an impactful enough player that those who roster Minnesota players will want to pay attention to his status leading up to Sunday's Week 10 matchup featuring two of the league's elite teams.

Inactive, as expected Milano (oblique) is inactive Week 9 against the Jets.

Impact Despite entering the week with a questionable tag following a limited showing in Friday's practice, Milano wasn't expected to suit up for this contest. Terrel Bernard -- who had primarily been a special-teamer until recently -- is in line to get the start in Milano's stead.

Not expected to play Milano (oblique), who is listed as questionable, isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Milano managed to resume practicing in a limited capacity Friday, but he still doesn't appear to have made enough progress in his recovery from the oblique injury he suffered last Sunday against the Packers to play this weekend. If Milano is indeed placed on Buffalo's inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, rookie third-round pick Terrel Bernard will likely enter the starting lineup in his place.

Questionable for Week 9 Milano (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Milano finally returned to a limited practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, so at least he's trending in the right direction. With starting safety Jordan Poyer already ruled out for Sunday's game with an elbow injury, it would certainly help the Bills if one of their other star defensive players is able to suit up for the divisional contest.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Milano (oblique) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Milano suffered an oblique injury during the Bills' primetime win over the Packers in Week 8 and will remain sidelined to start Week 9 prep. The starting linebacker will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Dealing with injury Milano suffered an oblique injury in Monday night's win over the Packers, according to head coach Sean McDermott, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Milano was able to play 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the contest, and he walked away with five tackles, a pass defensed and an interception. However, he apparently picked up the injury at some point during the game, which will need further evaluation before determining the extent of it.
