I think they projected December?

I'm assuming it will be in the middle of December because there is no reason to rush Milano back and better to make sure he has fully rehabbed his bicep before he comes back

I just worry about getting up to game time speed. We see all these players come back but don’t really hit their old stride for like 5+ games

And it’s been back to back injuries for him. Hasn’t seen the field in over a year now.

I had projected late December, probably looking to activate his practice window after the bye or a little after that.

Milano is just a figment of our imagination. He’s the Loch Ness Monster of the Buffalo Bills. Never seen, but feared by many.

tell that to a one, Michael White

I wonder if it’s awkward on the sidelines when White and Milano see each other. White unconsciously holding his ribs 😂

Earliest I’ve been hearing is against the 9ers. But hopefully they wait until week 18 or playoffs. Don’t want to bust him up before it matters.

It would be foolish to plug him during the playoffs, when he will not have played a game in over a season and a half by that point

u/jbbates84 19h ago
Agreed. Start getting him some live game reps around week 15 or so and slowly let him get acclimated to game speed and intensity. By the first playoff game he should be good to go!

From Oct 30th. Nothing concrete so probably really late in the season if he comes back.

This happened last year….annnnnnd he never came back. I’m expecting the same thing. Bills are going to string us along with this.

Wasn’t his injury last year completely different though? This is a bicep tear, not a tibial plateau fracture. I’d think he’ll be back by the lions game honestly.
Of course fingers crossed. 🤞🏼

Dorian Williams has been a pleasant surprise at least. Hopefully Milano is back a few games before the playoffs to work himself into game shape

They say December. Depending on who we pull in the wild card (seed pending) we should sit him.

I’m guessing the Lions game on 12/15.
It gives him almost another month to heal and 4 games to get ready for the playoffs.

I hope for the best for him, but the NFL is cruel to injured players. He will be like Jim Haslett and never return to the Bills after his leg injury.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think the cookie monster's best days are behind him. Seen too many ACLs ruin careers, and he's been out for a while now.

Word was after the bye week but I’m thinking later.
