Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott spoke about the likelihood of linebacker Matt Milano playing in the 2024 NFL season.
The Western New York faithful let out a collective sigh of disappointment in mid-August when star Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano suffered a bicep tear, an ailment that was set to keep the dynamic 30-year-old defender out “.
That hope still exists, per head coach Sean McDermott, who spoke about Milano’s rehab during his Wednesday media availability. The sideline boss detailed the stalwart’s recovery while speaking to reporters, stating that he’s progressing as expected and has maintained a defensive leadership role amid his rehabilitation.“There is ,” McDermott said. “I don’t know a lot of the detail, I just kind of know a big-picture view of Matt. He’s moving in the right direction, I see him every day.
“I think the rehab process this year, with this injury, is slightly different than last year’s situation, so it’s enabled him to be around more this year and be a positive influence on our football team in the linebacker room and the defensive room and overall. You see him on the sideline during games, too, his influence is important down there for me and for us. I think we’re moving in the right direction. Any more detail on that, I couldn’t give you right now.
Initial reports suggested that Buffalo expected Milano to be available at some point in December, and McDermott’s comments would indicate that this is still the target timeline. Sophomore linebacker Dorian Williams has filled in admirably in Milano’s absence; though the second-year defender has experienced growing pains , he’s generally played well, notching 72 tackles and two fumble recoveries.
