Bills DT Ed Oliver (ankle) is inactive for tonight's game against the Patriots. LB Matt Milano is active, though. Milano missed the past two games with a pectoral injury but should get back to his normal role. Oliver was questionable after putting in limited practices all week. That should make him a solid bet to return in Week 6, especially with a bye week to rest the ankle after that.

The Bills won't have LB Matt Milano (pectoral) or DT Ed Oliver (ankle) for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins. Both have been ruled out. CB Taron Johnson (quad) is questionable after limited practices all week. Johnson sounds like he'll be ready to play.

The Bills have agreed to a four-year, $50 million extension with LB Terrel Bernard. The deal includes $25.2 million in guarantees, according to NFL Network. Bernard was heading into the final (fourth) year of his rookie contract, so Buffalo didn't need to extend him yet to keep him through the coming season.

The Bills have already ruled LB Terrel Bernard out for Sunday's game at New England. He's officially dealing with quad injury, and HC Sean McDermott has deemed him "probably somewhere between day to day and week to week." The coach had already indicated that his team will rest at least some starters for its meaningless finale.

Bills inactives vs. New England today include S Taylor Rapp (neck), S Damar Hamlin (rib), CB Rasul Douglas (knee), and LB Matt Milano (groin). Milano's absence should mean a start for LB Dorian Williams, who was questionable with an elbow injury but is active. He carries big tackle upside into the role he played before Milano's return. Buffalo started S Cam Lewis, CB Kaiir Elam and S Cole Bishop with the same secondary trio out last week. None supplied big numbers despite a huge-volume passing day for the Lions in that one. None is probably worth attention for your Week 16 IDP lineup.

HC Sean McDermott announced Monday that the Bills are opening the 21-day practice window for LB Matt Milano. The veteran tore his left biceps in August. Buffalo will now have three weeks to decide whether to activate him or end his season.

Bills LB Matt Milano suffered a torn left biceps in Tuesday's practice. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that he'll have surgery "with the hope of trying to return later this season, possibly in December."

Bills LB Matt Milano was a full participant in Wednesday's practice to open training camp. HC Sean McDermott said early in spring that he didn't expect Milano to join offseason practices. But the veteran LB got into positional drills in the team's June minicamp.

Bills LB Matt Milano suffered a leg fracture and is feared to have also suffered a season-ending knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Milano left Sunday morning's loss to the Jaguars early after hurting his right leg, and it sounds like he could be in for a rough recovery. We'll watch for more on his return timeline, but you should expect to lose Milano from your IDP roster for the rest of the season.

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 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.

Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. He put in just a limited Friday practice this week. LB Matt Milano is off the final injury report after finishing the week with a pair of full practices.
