Bummer!
PITTSBURGH -- The Buffalo Bills' Matt Milano suffered
a torn biceps during Tuesday's practice and the starting
linebacker is out indefinitely.
Milano played only five games last season because of
a right leg injury
Milano is among the best coverage linebackers in the league,
and he will be a key absence for this Bills unit.
Since entering the NFL in 2017, he has allowed the lowest yards per target, completion percentage and passer rating as the nearest defender in coverage among linebackers.
Entering his eighth NFL season, Milano's injury is significant for a defense that has new leaders stepping up with the departure of safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde this offseason. In 2021 and 2022, Milano recorded over 86 tackles in each season and over 12 tackles for loss.
