Matt Milano is set to play his first game for the Buffalo Bills this weekend after being activated from injured reserve. The linebacker has been out since October 2023 due to injury.
Come Sunday night, when the Bills face the San Francisco 49ers at a snowy Highmark Stadium, it will mark 420 days since Matt Milano last played in a game. The former All-Pro linebacker has been sidelined since the Bills’ matchup against the Jaguars in London last season. His return is a major boost for the team’s Super Bowl aspirations.
Matt Milano missed the first 11 games of the NFL season after suffering a bicep tear in mid-August, following a season-ending leg injury he sustained against Jacksonville. In addition to Milano’s return, the Bills have elevated quarterback Mike White and tight end Zach Davidson from the practice squad, while defensive tackle DeWayne Carter has been downgraded to out.
Meanwhile, San Francisco has received a boost with the news that quarterback Brock Purdy is set to return for their crucial, potentially season-defining game against the Bills.
