  • Staying in Buffalo

    Milano is re-signing with the Bills on a four-year, $44 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Milano reportedly gets $24 million guaranteed, though we'll note that initial reports often prove inaccurate on contract details. The 2017 fifth-round pick would've been one of the top linebackers available in free agency, with his coverage skills making him more valuable than the traditional stats suggest. And to be fair, Milano has enjoyed some stretches of decent IDP production, including career highs for tackles (101) and pass defenses (nine) in 2019. A pectoral injury then limited him to…read more

  • May be expensive to keep

    Milano is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: The starting outside linebacker was hampered by injuries in 2020, but there's no doubt the Bills are a better team when he's out there doing his thing with fellow starter Tremaine Edmunds. In fact, of the 13 regular and postseason games that Milano played in, Sunday's loss to the Chiefs was the only one the Bills lost. The Bills clearly want him back but could be up against the cap, so if the demand ends up being super high for the Boston College product, the team may have to let him go. Milano…read more

  • Big numbers in big win

    Milano posted eight tackles and a sack in Monday's 38-9 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: This was easily Milano's best game since he came back from a pectoral injury in Week 13, and it was also his first contest where he saw more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in that span. Milano played 88 percent of the defensive plays Monday, as much as any other Buffalo defender, which means he was on the field for all the action until the game was out of hand and the starters were rested. Milano seems finally past the injury, and the tackle machine could be a sneaky IDP play in playoff…read more

  • Makes bigger impact

    Milano, in his second game back from an IR stint due to a pectoral injury, posted two tackles, a sack and one pass defensed in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Milano still isn't all the way back, but he was out there for 47 percent of the defensive snaps vs. 31 percent the previous week. He also appeared to be in on the action more, while his sack was a key play in what was a tight game until the fourth quarter. From an IDP perspective, it's mostly been a lost season for the fourth-year linebacker, but he could be a sneaky pickup in Week 16 or 17 if he can get back to his normal 100 percent snap count and the Bills need to keep winning to secure…read more

  • Returning for Week 13

    Milano (pectoral) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The news isn't overly surprising, as the 26-year-old traveled with the team Sunday for the trip out west. Milano hasn't seen game action since Week 8 and has 21 total tackles, 1.5 sacks and one interception in five games this season.

  • Jumps on big ol' jet airliner

    Milano (pectoral) flew with the Bills to Arizona ahead of Monday night's meeting with the 49ers, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Milano hasn't been activated from injured reserve yet, but the Bills have until 4pm Monday in order to do so. It seems as if that's the plan for the starting linebacker if he's traveling that far with the team. Milano hasn't suited up for the Bills since Week 8.

  • Will make it back this season

    The Bills have designated Milano (pectoral) to return to practice.

    Analysis: The starting linebacker has missed the past three games with the injury, though he's now expected to return to practice this week. The Bills have 21 days to activate Milano, and they could even get him out there for this week's game against the 49ers if they make the decision by Saturday.

  • Shifts to IR

    Milano (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: This move guarantees that Milano will miss the Bills' next two games, but he could return to action following the team's Week 11 bye. It's a major loss for the Bills' defense, as Milano is a strong cover linebacker and has registered 21 tackles, 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups and an interception through five games. Andre Smith is expected to start at weak-side linebacker moving forward.

  • Won't face Seahawks

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Milano (pectoral) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Milano had managed to play through his lingering pectoral injury the last two games, though he was limited to a third or less of defensive snaps versus both the Jets and Patriots. That the standout linebacker will now be forced to miss a key game against Seattle could indicate that he's suffered a setback in his recovery.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Milano (undisclosed) won't practice Wednesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's possible this absence is just precautionary for the linebacker, who has already battled hamstring and pectoral injuries this season. If Milano's unable to practice Thursday, that would start to cast serious doubt on his status for Sunday's game against Seattle.

  • Active against New England

    Milano (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

    Analysis: Milano returned to the lineup last week after a two-game hiatus, and he didn't handle his typical workload, playing just 33 percent of the defensive snaps. Perhaps his responsibilities will ramp up against the Patriots, as the standout linebacker is too much of a difference-maker to stay on the sidelines.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Considered questionable

    Milano (pectoral) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Milano has been limited in practice all week, a hint that he could operate under a snap count if he does suit up against New England. While Milano normally handles a starting role for Buffalo, he only played 19 defensive snaps against the Jets in Week 7, his first game back from an injury suffered in Week 4.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Limited to begin week

    Milano (pectoral) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The Bills are continuing to ease Milano back into action, while he played just 19 defensive snaps during Sunday's win against the Jets. The standout linebacker will work to ramp up his activity ahead of the Week 8 divisional contest against the Patriots.

    Published: Wed, Oct 28 at 1:59pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Eased back in

    Milano tallied two tackles and half a sack during Sunday's win at the Jets after missing the two previous games with a pectoral injury.

    Analysis: Milano is still far from perfect health, as coach Sean McDermott has stated the team will have to build up his reps. He was only able to play 19 defensive snaps Sunday, though given the magnitude of this week's game against the rival Patriots -- plus the extra week of healing -- we'd expect Milano to have a significant jump in play count for Week 8.

  • Back at it Sunday

    Milano (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game at the Jets.

    Analysis: Milano was a true question mark after missing Week 5 and 6, both prime-time losses for the Bills where their defense got exposed while missing a bunch of plays Milano usually is around. The Bills are still a pretty injury-depleted team, so Milano's return is a big boost, even in a heavily favored game.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Milano (pectoral) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old missed the past two games with the pectoral injury, but he may be able to retake the field Sunday. Milano practiced as a limited participant all week, so he could end up being a game-time decision.

    Published: Fri, Oct 23 at 11:42am by Rotowire.com

  • Back to work, limited

    Milano, who's missed the last two games with a pectoral injury, is practicing on a limited basis Wednesday, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: The Bills have been gashed by the Titans and Chiefs the last two games, so Milano's ability to play this weekend against the Jets will be an important factor toward the team getting back to its winning ways. Milano may be more important than any player on the team outside of Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and Tre'Davious White.

  • Unable to play Monday

    Milano (pectoral) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Milano will spend a second straight game on the sidelines despite practicing fully Friday and logging a limited session Saturday. Tyrel Dodson is expected to start at weak-side linebacker in Milano's place against the Chiefs' powerhouse offense.

  • Listed as questionable

    The Bills have listed Milano (pectoral) as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Milano appeared to be back to full health after full participation at Friday's practice, but his limited workload Saturday has led to a questionable designation. Final confirmation on his status will come closer to kickoff Monday.

    Published: Sat, Oct 17 at 10:44am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Back to full practice

    Milano (pectoral) practiced in full Friday, paving the way for him to suit up Monday against the Chiefs, Sal Capaccio of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Milano has missed two of Buffalo's first five games due to hamstring and pectoral injuries, but he's been terrific when out there, totaling 18 tackles, a sack and an interception. The versatile linebacker will be a welcome addition to Buffalo's defense for a daunting matchup against a Chiefs team that's churning out 29.8 points per game.

    Published: Fri, Oct 16 at 12:29pm by Rotowire.com

  • Upgrades to limited

    Milano (pectoral) was considered a limited practice participant for Thursday's jog-through session, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: While this wasn't a rigorous practice after the Bills got back at it following a rare Tuesday game, Milano did miss practice all last week before ultimately missing the Week 5 contest, so this bodes well for his chances of suiting up for another primetime game Monday, this time against the Chiefs. The team badly felt the loss of its starting outside linebacker in the 42-16 loss, with the Titans scoring a touchdown all six times they were in the red zone.

  • Out for Week 5

    Milano (pectoral) did not participate in Saturday's walkthrough practice and has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Tennessee, the Bills official site reports.

    Analysis: The Bills have the look of a powerhouse team, but the one area where they don't feature a lot of depth is at linebacker, where Milano is a solid three-down starter. The loss will be felt, especially against a team like the Titans that likes to pound the ball with Derrick Henry. This will be Milano's second missed game this season, as he sat out Week 2 with a hamstring injury after hurting himself in the opener.

  • Starts week with absence

    Milano, who left Sunday's win over the Raiders with a pectoral injury, will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Considering coach Sean McDermott labeled Milano "week-to-week" instead of "day-to-day" in his Monday press conference, the linebacker's status for Sunday's game in Tennessee is very much up in the air. Then again, we can probably say the same thing about the game itself considering the Titans' current COVID-19 issues.

  • Receives week-to-week label

    Coach Sean McDermott said Milano (pectoral) is considered "week-to-week,", Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old exited Sunday's win over the Raiders during the fourth quarter due to the pectoral injury, recording six tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup before leaving the contest. Milano's availablility for Week 5 remains up in the air, though his status should be updated later in the week once the Bills return to practice.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Questionable to return Sunday

    Milano is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a pectoral injury.

    Analysis: Milano was forced out of Sunday's contest midway through the fourth quarter. The Bills will rely on Tyrel Dodson to handle expanded defensive snaps as long as Milano remains sidelined.

    Published: Sun, Oct 4 at 4:14pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Fills out stat sheet

    Milano posted eight tackles, a sack, a pass defensed and two quarterback hits during Sunday's win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Now that's what you call a return from a hamstring injury. Milano had a bigger statistical day than teammate Tremaine Edmunds (five tackles), who also returned after a one-game absence. Expect Milano to continue his usual stat-filling ways when the Bills take on the Raiders in Las Vegas. He was on the field for all 69 defensive plays Sunday, so assume he's close to full health again.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Milano (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Rams.

    Analysis: Milano sat out of Week 2's matchup versus the Dolphins, but he practiced fully Friday and is ready to rock Sunday. It's unclear if he'll face any sort of pitch count in his return to action, but if he logs a full workload, he's a solid IDP contributor coming off a 101-tackle season.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • On track to play Sunday

    Milano (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to be available to play, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Like Milano, Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) is also questionable after sitting out the Bills' Week 2 win over the Dolphins, but both linebackers should be ready to return for a matchup between undefeated squads. Assuming Milano is able to take on a normal snap load, he should make for a solid lineup option in IDP leagues. He tallied 101 tackles and nine passes defensed -- both career highs -- over 15 games in 2019.

  • Officially questionable

    Milano (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Milano began the week with back-to-back limited practices but was a full participant in Friday's session, a hint that he's trending in the right direction. With fellow starting linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) also listed as questionable, Milano's availability is important for Buffalo's odds of containing the Rams on Sunday.

    Published: Fri, Sep 25 at 1:05pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Limited again

    Milano (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday for the second straight day.

    Analysis: Milano missed last week's win over the Dolphins, but he seems to be trending toward suiting up this week against the Rams. A limited or full practice Friday will back that hypothesis.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Starts week with limited practice

    Milano (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Milano missed last week's win over Miami after hurting his hamstring in the season opener against the Jets. The linebacker was unable to practice last week, so this is already a step in the right direction, though he's still viewed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams at this point.

  • Out for Week 2

    Coach Sean McDemott said on WGR 550 Radio on Friday that Milano (hamstring) will miss Sunday's game in Miami, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Bills will have some challenges to overcome against the Dolphins, as fellow starter Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) has also been ruled out. Expect to see more of A.J. Klein, Tyler Matakevich, Tyrel Dodson and even deep reserve Deon Lacey.

  • Misses another practice

    Milano (hamstring) missed his second straight practice Thursday, Sal Capaccio of WGR 550 Radio reports.

    Analysis: Milano's injury looked nasty enough when he left Sunday's game that he's probably going to have to at least work on a limited basis Friday to have a viable chance of suiting up against the Dolphins this week. With fellow starter Tremaine Edmunds also hurting, the Bills have some issues amid their LB corps entering Week 2.

  • Starts off week with absence

    Milano, who was forced out of Sunday's opener with a hamstring injury, was unable to practice Wednesday, Jourdon LaBarber of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McDermott labeled the starting linebacker as day-to-day Monday, though it's obvious Milano will have to get some work in Thursday or Friday in order to have a viable shot at playing Sunday in Miami. The Bills could have issues at linebacker with fellow starter Tremaine Edmunds also banged up with a shoulder injury.

  • Could return in Week 2

    Coach Sean McDermott said Milano (hamstring) is day-to-day Monday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Milano couldn't finish the season opener against the Jets because of the hamstring injury. McDermott lumped Milano and Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) together in the day-to-day category, but Milano's soft-tissue injury is a bit more concerning. We should know more when the Bills release their Wednesday practice report, but at this time, the team could be surveying its practice squad depth with just three linebackers currently healthy.

  • Out for rest of Week 1

    Milano suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's game against the Jets and will not return.

    Analysis: Milano did haul in an interception and post four tackles before the injury, so it's not a wasted IDP day for him by any means. However, linebacker is the one position the talented Bills don't run real deep, so his status for next week's game against Miami will loom as an important one for the team.

  • Turns in best pro season

    Milano logged 101 tackles, 1.5 sacks, nine pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 15 regular-season games in 2019.

    Analysis: The third-year linebacker bounced back quite well from a broken leg that ended his 2018 campaign early, working with fellow young stud Tremaine Edmunds to form a nice linebacker tandem for what proved to be one of the NFL's better defenses. As more of an outside guy, Milano doesn't rack up the tackles at quite the same rate as Edmunds, but the former has a better nose for the ball, and that puts him barely short of Edmunds in terms of IDP value. Both will make for solid IDP choices next season…read more

  • Racks up 12 tackles in loss

    Milano logged 12 tackles (nine solo) in Saturday's 24-17 loss to New England.

    Analysis: It was Milano's first double-digit tackle effort since Week 8 and just his second of the year. Nevertheless, he's consistently produced all season and sits at exactly 100 stops on the season.

  • Forces fumble Sunday

    Milano racked up five tackles (three solo) and forced a fumble in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Milano forced one of the three Pittsburgh fumbles on the night, as the Bills continue to be an opportunistic defense in regard to turnovers. Milano has become a staple in Buffalo's linebacker corps and will look to keep things rolling against the Patriots in Week 16.

  • Helps contain Lamar Jackson

    Milano had seven tackles -- tied for third on the team -- during Sunday's loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Even though the Bills lost, they did a fantastic job slowing down potential league MVP Lamar Jackson all afternoon, and the fleet-footed Milano was a big part of the reason. Milano and fellow linebacker Trey Edmunds play every single down, and while the former is still looking for his first interception of the season, he does have 82 tackles thus far, which includes seven-plus in five of his last seven outings. There are better IDPs out there, though the third-year man is right on pace for his…read more

  • Puts together impressive outing

    Milano recorded seven tackles (four solo), 0.5 sacks and two pass breakups in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Milano came in second for the team lead in tackles to Tremaine Edmunds (12), and the duo teamed up to take down Ryan Fitzpatrick in the third quarter. When he's healthy, Milano is an every-snap player, and the third-year pro is on track for a career-high 108 stops this season.

  • Sack in loss

    Milano recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one sack across 70 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Milano recorded his first sack of the season Sunday, taking down Baker Mayfield for a nine-yard loss early in the fourth quarter. His 58 combined tackles place him third on the Bills defense this season, and that's with a game and some change lost due to injury. He'll look to keep up this level of play against the Dolphins on Sunday.
