For the second year in a row, linebacker Matt Milano of the Buffalo Bills suffered a season-ending injury.
The Pro Bowl linebacker tore his biceps muscle during a practice earlier this week at training camp; the team revealed on Thursday that surgery will be required to fix the injury. Milano might be out for the majority of the regular season due to this injury.
Milano, one of the greatest defensive players on the Bills, will miss a considerable amount of time due to injury for the second time in as many seasons. Milano was sidelined for the remainder of the season after suffering a leg injury during Buffalo’s Week 5 game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars the previous season.
The 30-year-old Milano had his best season in his eight-year NFL career (all with Buffalo) in 2022, earning a trip to the Pro Bowl and a spot on the first team All-Pro. In all, he recorded 99 tackles, 3 interceptions (including one touchdown), and 1 1/2 sacks. In the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the Bills selected Milano.
More to come with this news.
