Milano (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Milano logged his second straight limited practice after opening the week on the injury report with an ankle injury. The 31-year-old's status for the Bills' AFC divisional round matchup against the Broncos will likely depend on his participation in practice Thursday.

Milano (illness) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Milano missed Wednesday's walk-through but has regained health Thursday. He's expected to occupy his usual starting spot at linebacker against the Jaguars in Sunday's wild-card round matchup.

Milano (illness) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Milano played in the Bills' last nine games consecutively before resting with most of the defensive starters in the team's Week 18 victory over the Jets. The linebacker appears to have acquired an illness, but it will likely not stop him from playing in Sunday's playoff game against the Jaguars. The 31-year-old will have two more opportunities to elevate his practice participation and prove he is over the illness in time for Sunday's contest.

Milano recorded 67 tackles (36 solo) including 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble in 12 regular-season games with Buffalo in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
While Milano was one of the Bills' top linebackers whenever he was available, an early-season pectoral injury and late-season load management limited him to just 12 games in 2025. He has now appeared in just 21 regular-season games in the past three years combined. He'll turn 32 in July, and it's unlikely he'll ever again match the highest snap shares he took up earlier on in his career. With that said, he's currently set to become a free agent this offseason and could be a steady contributor for a team that sees value in a veteran presence at linebacker in 2026.

Milano logged seven tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Bills' 13-12 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Milano and Greg Rousseau combined for a two-yard sack of Jalen Hurts late in the third quarter. Milano is up to 67 combined tackles, including 3.5 sacks, through 12 regular-season games, and his sack total matches his career high that he set in 2020 (across 10 regular-season games). His final opportunity to set a new career high in sacks is this Sunday against the Jets.

Milano finished Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Browns with nine tackles (four solo).
EDGE Analysis
Milano finished second on Buffalo with his nine stops. One of his tackles went for a loss, and Milano also notched two QB hits. The veteran linebacker has his two highest tackle totals of the campaign over the past two weeks -- he recorded 10 stops against New England in Week 15.

Milano registered 10 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Sunday in a 35-31 win against New England.
EDGE Analysis
Milano put forth a monstrous effort in the comeback victory. He not only led Buffalo in tackles, he also sacked Drake Maye twice -- both in the second half. Milano's tackle total was a season-high mark and his most since in a game since the 2023 campaign.

Milano recorded four tackles (two solo) in Thursday night's loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Milano has started all seven games he's appeared in this season, but he's no longer an every-down linebacker for Buffalo at 31 years old. The veteran has 33 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on 258 defensive snaps but is a candidate to see increased playing time in the wake of Terrel Bernard's elbow injury that could land him on injured reserve.

Milano (pectoral) will practice in full Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old had missed Buffalo's last two games due to a pectoral injury that he aggravated in the Week 5 loss to the Patriots, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue. Milano has appeared in three games for the Bills this year, recording 15 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 100 defensive snaps. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start alongside Terrel Bernard in the Bills' linebacker corps.

Milano (pectoral) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the extra rest courtesy of the Week 7 bye, Milano will miss a second consecutive game to a pectoral injury that he aggravated during the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Patriots. Shaq Thompson will continue to work in an expanded role in the Bills' defense for as long as Milano is sidelined.
