Bernard (pectoral) suffered a pec strain during Thursday's 31-10 win over Miami and is expected to miss roughly one month, making him a candidate for IR, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bernard has avoided a season-ending injury, but if placed on IR he'll have to miss at least Buffalo's next four games. The Bills' defense has been impressive through two regular-season contests despite having to deal with a notable amount of injuries, including to fellow linebacker Matt Milano (biceps), but it will be a notable blow for the team as long as Bernard is absent. Baylon Spector stepped in for Bernard on Thursday and seems likely to start Week 3 versus Jacksonville.
