Milano recorded four tackles (two solo) in Thursday night's loss to the Texans. Milano has started all seven games he's appeared in this season but, at 31 years old, he's no longer an every-down linebacker for Buffalo. 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. 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) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Milano sat out Buffalo's Week 6 loss to the Falcons but has a chance to return in Week 8 following the Bills' Week 7 bye. If Milano remains sidelined against the Panthers, Shaq Thompson would likely draw another start.

Milano (pectoral) has been ruled out for Buffalo's matchup versus the Falcons on Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports. Milano is set to miss his third game in the last four weeks after aggravating his pectoral injury in the team's Week 5 loss to versus the Patriots. In the 31-year-old's absence, Shaq Thompson should get the start at linebacker once again. Milano will now have the upcoming bye week to get healthy and will look to return Week 8 versus the Panthers.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said Milano (pectoral) will not participate in Thursday's practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Milano is still considered week-to-week due to the pectoral injury that forced him to miss two games before returning to action Week 5, then aggravating the issue after playing 32 defensive snaps. It looks as though the veteran linebacker is trending in the wrong direction for Monday's game against the Falcons, after which point Buffalo will benefit from a Week 7 bye to get healthy. If Milano isn't cleared for Monday Night Football, Shaq Thompson will be positioned for an expanded role.
