Bills' Matt Milano: Diagnosed with torn biceps
Matt Milano has been diagnosed with a torn biceps and will undergo surgery with the hope of returning late in the 2024 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Schefter suggests that returning in December might be a reasonable goal for Milano, whose 2023 campaign ended Week 5 when he suffered a fractured leg. The linebacker worked his way back to full health and had been participating in training camp without limitations, but he's now set to miss a majority of his age-30 season, leaving more snaps at linebacker available for Dorian Williams and Nicholas Morrow (groin). Terrel Bernard appears locked in for an every-down role and is Buffalo's best IDP option at the position.

Bills' Matt Milano: No timeline yet
Matt Milano (leg) doesn't have a rehab timeline, though Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane said Tuesday that the linebacker is "probably closer to being through rehab" than cornerback Tre'Davious White (Achilles), Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.The Bills lost two of their best defenders to season-ending injuries in early October, with Milano fracturing his leg one week after White tore an Achilles' tendon. The latter is more likely to be a concern for 2024, though it's certainly possible Milano's rehab process impacts his spring/summer as he prepares for his age-30 season. The linebacker is under contract through 2026, including a fully guaranteed $4.125 million base salary (and $12.437 million cap hit) for 2024.

Bills' Matt Milano: Fractures leg, likely done for 2023
Matt Milano has been diagnosed with a fractured leg and is also feared to have suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Milano is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his knee as the Buffalo Bills look to determine whether he suffered any ligament damage, but even if the fractured leg is the most serious of his injuries, the star linebacker appears set to miss extended time. The loss of Milano is a significant for the Buffalo defense, as the 29-year-old was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2022 and was off to another strong start to the first five games of the 2023 season with 30 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble. Dorian Williams and Tyrel Dodson are expected to benefit the most from a playing-time standpoint while Milano is out.
