Bernard finished Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts with nine tackles (four solo) and one pass defense. Bernard co-led the Bills in tackling Sunday with Dorian Williams. Bernard has logged at least eight tackles in three consecutive outings and has played every single defensive snap in five regular-season games. He's up to 49 tackles (33 solo), two pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery across seven regular-season contests.

Bernard tallied eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins. Bernard returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury and was able to be on the field for all 60 of the Bills' defensive snaps. He tied his second-highest tackle total of the campaign. Bernard has registered 40 tackles (29 solo) and an interception through six contests on the campaign.

Bernard (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. Bernard was able to practice in full Friday after logging back-to-back limited sessions to begin the Bills' week of practice, suggesting he's now moved past his ankle issue. The third-year linebacker has recorded 32 total tackles and one interception across five appearances this season. He's expected to serve as Buffalo's top middle linebacker in the Week 9 divisional matchup.

Bernard (ankle/pectoral/personal) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Bernard missed two games earlier this season due to a pectoral injury, and a trio of designations will now keep him sidelined for Week 8. That means Bernard's next chance to take the field will come Week 9 against the Dolphins. Against Seattle on Sunday, though, Baylon Spector will get a chance to step into a starting role in the Bills' linebacker corps.

Bernard (ankle/pectoral/personal) did not practice Wednesday, Dorian Alerte of the Bills' official site reports. Bernard left Sunday's win over the Titans twice, once due to a head injury (he was cleared) and the second time due to the ankle issue, which now has him sidelined to start the week's practice slate along with apparent pectoral and personal reasons. Bernard is a tackle monster when healthy -- he accrued 143 of them last season -- but his status appears to be in jeopardy for this week's game in Seattle.
