All-Pro linebacker unverified long-term status with a pec injury after 23 snaps in Week 2; left the Jets game late in the second quarter, adding uncertainty to Buffalo’s linebacker corps.

Milano (pectoral) did not participate on Monday’s injury report, signaling possible concerns about Buffalo’s linebacker corps if the issue lingers. His absence would stress the middle of Buffalo’s defense, elevating the value of other linebackers and safeties in fantasy and daily fantasy contests.

Milano, fully healthy, is Buffalo’s anchor in pass coverage and run fits. He faces Derrick Henry in a Week 1 clash that could test his range and instincts. Milano’s ability to limit big gains and chase Manners in a power run game will set the tone for Bills’ defensive identity early in the season.

Milano's healthy return anchors Buffalo's defense, sharpening the run fit and pass coverage on third down. His leadership and communication should help Buffalo contest Ravens’ long drives, improving Buffalo’s chance to force third‐downs and create disruptive plays. In fantasy, Milano’s tackle volume could rise with Bills’ improved front and better overall third‐down execution.

Milano returns at full strength, fortifying Buffalo’s pass coverage on TE-heavy looks and aiding Bills’ defense against the Ravens’ rushing and TE-based schemes. His presence is a clear boost for Bills’ ability to slow tight ends and pressure Allen’s passing lanes.
