Bills LB Matt Milano left with a knee injury in the first half against the Jaguars. The team quickly ruled him out for the game. That doesn't bode well for Milano's outlook, and it's not shocking given how much help Milano needed getting off the field. We'll watch for more on his return timeline.
Bills Edge Greg Rousseau (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. We've knocked him out of the Week 5 DL rankings. It's tough to know the impact on others' playing time. Buffalo lists Edge Von Miller as questionable, but he has said that he expects to play for the first time this year. Miller returned to practice this week after spending the first four weeks on the PUP list while working back from his December ACL tear. We're betting on limited playing time for Miller in his return, making him a high-risk IDP option. A.J. Epenesa has played 45-46% of the defensive snaps in three straight games and could see a slight boost. Leonard Floyd is the best bet for playing time on the outside but has topped out at 54% through four games. The Bills like to rotate their linemen to keep the group fresh. Shaq Lawon's in the mix as well but has delivered minimal stats on solid playing time so far.
Bills S Jordan Poyer followed a limited Wednesday practice with full participation Thursday. That seems to put him on track to play Sunday against the Jaguars in London. Poyer missed the Week 4 win over the Dolphins with a knee injury. We'll watch his status the rest of the week.
Bills Edge Greg Rousseau has missed the first two practices this week with a foot injury. That makes him look pretty iffy for Sunday morning's game against the Jaguars. We'll watch for his Friday participation and weekend outlook. The Buffalo D-line might get Edge Von Miller back. He is reportedly traveling with the team to London, though it's not yet clear if he'll play. Miller is coming off an early December ACL tear, so he shouldn't be in your IDP lineup even if active. But his status will be interesting to watch. We'd bet on the Bills easing him back in to make sure he's ready for December and the playoffs.
Bills HC Sean McDermott has said Edge Von Miller will begin practicing this week. Miller opened the year on the PUP list after tearing his right ACL late last season. We'll see how soon the veteran is ready for game action, and we'd bet on the team limiting Miller's snaps early on. But it's obviously a positive that he's set to practice as soon as he's eligible to do so.
The Bills believe CB Tre'Davious White tore his right Achilles' tendon in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. That would obviously end White's season. It could also challenge his longer-term future. White tore his left ACL in November 2021, missing the rest of that season and the first 10 of the following year. He'll turn 29 in January, with two years left on his contract. But the final two seasons hold shrinking dead-money numbers if the Bills release him. White entered Sunday as Buffalo's highest-graded CB in coverage, according to Pro Football Focus. He ranked 22nd in that category among all 160 corners so far this season. He'll obviously be a big loss for Buffalo's defense, though we wouldn't go targeting the matchup just yet. The Bills ranked second in pass-defense DVOA last year despite playing most of the year without White and losing both starting safeties for multiple games.
The Bills have ruled S Jordan Poyer (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. That's not awesome news for Buffalo's defense against a team that already had Tyreek Hill and now returns Jaylen Waddle from a concussion. Taylor Rapp looks like the fill-in for Poyer and could see more tackle opportunities than the Bills would like. See where Rapp sits in our Week 4 DB rankings.
The NFL announced Tuesday that it won't resume the Bills-Bengals game -- halted by S Damar Hamlin's collapse -- this week. The league added that it will keep the Week 18 schedule intact and that no decision has yet been made on how to treat Monday night's game going forward. That means fantasy football leagues and contest providers will either have to wait for further word on the resumption of that contest or figure out alternate solutions. We'll certainly be watching for updates on that front -- as well as, of course, any updates on Hamlin's condition.
Bills S Jordan Poyer (knee) is active for tonight's game against the Bengals. He was questionable after getting in just 1 limited practice. On the Cincinnati side, DE Sam Hubbard (calf) is inactive.
Bills S Jordan Poyer (knee) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Bengals. He missed practice Thursday and Friday before returning for a limited Saturday workout. The late kick makes Poyer tough to wait for in IDP lineups. If you plan to wait for Poyer and can't back him up with either Bengals safety or Bills S Damar Hamlin, Jaquan Johnson would be Poyer's fill-in.
Bills LB Matt Milano (knee) is active for today's game against the Jets. He managed only a single limited practice this week, though, and carries risk in IDP lineups.
Bills LB Matt Milano (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. He put in only a limited Friday practice and looks like a player better avoided in IDP lineups this week. We'll watch Milano's status over the weekend.
Surgery on the right knee of Bills EDGE Von Miller this week revealed that he tore the ACL on Thanksgiving against the Lions. Doctors believed the meniscus to be the big issue, as MRI did not reveal the ACL damage. Miller is now obviously out for the rest of this season. We'll see how he fares in getting ready for 2023.
The Bills have placed EDGE Von Miller (knee) on IR. He'll miss at least 3 more games (after missing Thursday night's win at New England), which makes Miller cuttable in IDP redraft leagues.
Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) and EDGE Greg Rousseau (ankle) each put in full practices Monday and Tuesday, which makes them appear on track to return for Thursday night's game against the Patriots. Edmunds had decent outings against New England last year, tallying 7, 8 and 8 tackles in 3 meetings. You can find him and Rousseau in our Week 13 IDP rankings. Elsewhere on the injury report: S Damar Hamlin and CB Dane Jackson each missed Monday's practice with illness but returned for Tuesday's workout.
Bills EDGE Greg Rousseau returned to practice Sunday after missing the past 3 games with an ankle sprain. "I'm feeling good man, pretty close for sure," he said afterward, according to the team website. We'll see what the team practice reports say over the next 3 days, leading up to Thursday night's clash with the Patriots.
Bills EDGE Von Miller tore the lateral meniscus in this right knee in Thursday's win over the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Miller will be evaluated again in 7-10 days, and Rapoport adds that he'll need surgery on it at some point. The question will be whether it can wait until after the season. Missing Miller will hurt a defense that has dealt with myriad injuries -- and suffered for it by the fantasy numbers.
Bills EDGE Von Miller left in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Lions with a right knee injury. He has been ruled out with what has been deemed at least a knee sprain. There's fear that he tore the ACL. We'll see what doctors say. Miller previously tore his right ACL back in 2013.
The Bills have ruled LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) and EDGE Greg Rousseau (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Lions. It's not surprising for either player. We've had LB Tyrel Dodson in the Week 12 IDP rankings instead of him for most of the week. Buffalo will also likely be without EDGE A.J. Epenesa (ankle), who is doubtful.
Bills S Jordan Poyer (elbow) is active for today's game against the Lions.
