Bills Outline Clear Plan for Matt Milano’s Return
As the Buffalo Bills aim to extend their five-game win streak against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, they received a significant boost on Monday with the activation of All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano’s 21-day practice window. Milano, who has been on injured reserve since the preseason due to a torn bicep, will now begin practicing again as he works toward a return in the coming weeks. With a three-week window to activate Milano to the roster, the timeline for his actual game return remains flexible.
Head coach Sean McDermott clarified how the team plans to handle Milano’s comeback, emphasizing a cautious, step-by-step approach. “We’re going to take it one week at a time,” McDermott said, outlining the team’s strategy. “We’ll see how this week goes. It’s been a while since he’s played football, but he’s done a great job working with our trainers to get back to this point. We’ll reassess at the end of the week and take it from there.”

While Milano is unlikely to be ready for the Chiefs game, McDermott left the door open for a possible return after the team’s Week 12 bye, with the 49ers on tap in Week 13. The Bills are clearly focused on ensuring Milano is fully prepared for a safe and effective return.
