The decision should be based on whether or not he is putting himself at a medium/high level or risk of aggravating the injury. In other words, is he healthy or not? If he's healthy, you play him. Tennessee is a team when they are playing well is one of the better teams in the league and this is a big Monday night football game against a conference foe who whooped our butts last year on the road. Milano has been playing at an All pro level this year, the Bills could use him in this matchup. I want to add that the Milano question this week also doesn't have to all or nothing. If he is healthy there is no reason not to get him snaps on a limited basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BillsintheBurgh Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Let's see - the schedule for the next few weeks - 7 - bye 8 - fins 9 - jags 10 - jets 11 - colts 12 - saints I'd rather have him playing Monday night, his presence might mean the difference in playoff seeding. If he aggravates it so be it. If he gets through we can give him limited reps the next few weeks anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 McD should play the long game here. Any other injury besides a hamstring he should play. However with a hamstring and a bye week you sit him this week and increase your chances he plays healthy the rest of the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Milano is ranked 1st overall in LB's by PFF, 3rd in coverage, 1st in rushing the passer, 8th in run defense. Only LB in the league with a grade above 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with a hamstring and a bye week you sit him this week and increase your chances he plays healthy the rest of the way In previous years that he has had a hamstring injury, he’s never missed more than one game and injury did not re-occur. McDermott actually said he did play the long game by sitting him on Sunday, as he could have played, but was not 100% so didn’t want one game to turn into 2-3. He’s ok now, zero reason to not play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Let’s hope this string of health continues. Honesty think the only thing derailing this team from a Super Bowl is injuries to key players. If a player is healthy, he plays. McD knows how important 5-1 and beating Tenn is to getting this team home field for the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 7 minutes ago, WhoTom said: I'd suit him up but limit his snaps. I’m guessing they will keep him on a pitch count and the first sign we have the game in hand, he’s out. He gets a nice bye to heal, stretch, do some hot yoga, whatever to keep him loose. I also think of after the bye they will keep a close watch on him. We need him for the more important games. I wouldn’t even play him for the Jets, Jets, Jags.

LABILLBACKER Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 If Milano, Edmunds & Klein stay healthy and we keep rotating the 9 for the DL, this defense will be pretty unstoppable. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are many who think he should not be rushed back, if there is a chance his hamstring issue is not 100%. I posted several days ago that Milano being out of this game didn't concern me, because AJ Klein might actually be a better matchup vs. Derrick Henry. Milano is certainly the better LB, but Klein is exceptional against the run, he's fast, he's a very good tackler who wraps guys up, and he has 20 pounds on Milano. If Milano's back to full strength (and today's report suggests as much) then great. But, if he sits, or has a limited snap count, I think we'll be well covered by Klein. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's what would have happened last week, but McD didn't want to risk it. Said they were being cautious and he could have played. He is good to go and healthy. He is going to play.

So just a point, last year we started Edmunds 100%, Tyrel Dodson for Milano (90%) but AJ Klein got 30% of the snaps. It's a possibility that we might play more 4-3 base against the Titans and that Tank they have playing RB. 31 minutes ago, Rocky Landing said: I don't think anyone is suggesting to "arbitrarily" sit Milano. I think there are many who think he should not be rushed back, if there is a chance his hamstring issue is not 100% Seems to me that some people are suggesting just that. To be fair, I think the logic train is that hamstring injuries are notoriously hard to judge, he might think he's fine and the trainers say "thumbs up" and he still need some extra healing. But FWIW, this is something like Milano's 5th documented hamstring pull, he's missed 1 game each time, and he hasn't *seemed* to re-injure. Knock wood. And each time as far as I can tell he's taken 100% of the snaps on his first game back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
