Alphadawg7 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I can't find anything as of yet, but all the talk has been as if we are losing him for the season. Just wondering if it's been confirmed yet or not that he did tear his pec. I know I have been operating off the assumption he is lost for the season, but that is just soley based on everyone else's talk like he is, yet I still can't find anything that says he is actually out for the season and the pec is torn. Hoping it is still possible its a strain or something versus it being a torn pec...so am I missing something, or is it still possible he isn't lost for the season?

dave mcbride Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Nothing I've seen, but in the press conference, McDermott said it didn't look good. I think most of us are making assumptions based on that comment from the head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I haven't seen anything yet. If it is a torn pec that's like a six month minimum recovery so that'd be the season for him. I base this off a couple of pro wrestlers who tore their pec recently. Cody Rhodes was out from like April 2022 to January 2023 (he actually finished his recovery ahead of schedule.) Another guy, Danhausen, tore his in March and only as of last week has it been stated that he'll be returning soon. Friggin bummer. Kinda felt like the Bengals playoff loss. I mean, Timmy Settle seems like a great team guy but when he has to go spell Daquan for an extended set of snaps the results aren't great. I dunno. They can mix it up at DT though. Groot can line up there, they'll get Poona rolling again I'm sure. I think Shaq could take some snaps there if needed. I'm thinking maybe they'll get creative in trying to replace him but who knows.

Boatdrinks Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Nothing yet, but a Pec (as speculated) would likely be season ending. Your best bet for proven run plugger is probably Ford, but he was unimpressive in pre season. Edited October 9, 2023 by Boatdrinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Fully torn Pec and he's done for the year. Anything less and we could get him back anywhere between 5-10 games from now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimboG Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 If he could somehow be back for the playoffs that would be a huge boost. I'm not optimistic though, based on McD's initial comments yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Watching the Defense lose its 1st, 3rd, and 4th most important players in a span of two weeks is a real letdown for this team's Super Bowl aspirations...hopefully they can stitch together a serviceable enough D with the players remaining to allow Josh Allen and the Offense to win games in a "shoot-out" fashion. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaQuan Jones I'd replace Tre White with Taron Johnson. Tre looked to be on his way back to a good corner, but Benford is playing around the same level. I'd like to see what we look like with Ford before I say Daquan Jones is/was Top 4. Matt Milano is definitely a big loss, but at one of the easiest positions on a defense to fill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaQuan Jones No disresptect...but let me update your list. 1. Matt Milano 2. Daquan Jones . . 3. Tre White 4. Von Miller I love Tre White and Von Miller...but their importance to this team are not on the same level as Milano and Jones right now. Jones has been the best DT in football the first 4 weeks and was hurt doing what he does blowing up 3rd down to force 3 and out on the first drive. This team can live without Tre and proven that as Bills have had statisticaly the best secondary in the NFL over the past 3 seasons coming in despite Tre missing basically a season and a half of that between the injury and then not being near himself when he first returned. Von, while he was great last year before being hurt, isn't nearly as essential this year with Floyd here, Groot growing more, and AJE emerging. So while I am excited to see if he can get back, even if he does, the pass rush isn't going to get the same boost given how well the others are playing compared to how much Milano boosts the defense when he is on the field and Jones boosts the interior play at DT when he is. 1 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moulds 808080 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) I agree with Tre White over Milano that being said the only reason I say that is Elam is a liability out there Dobson came in and did a good job Edited October 9, 2023 by Moulds 808080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have Taron Johnson number 5 on my list...he was laying on the turf looking like he was done for the season, but thankfully he popped back up and returned to the game.....at least the Bills were able to dodge that bullet!

Von Miller Fair enough, but you have to factor in a veteran presence and locker room leadership.... that's where Tre and Von excel.....not to mention the fact that when you need a big play in an important moment, guys like Tre and Von always rise to the occasion in those moments...so does Milano. 1 minute ago, Dablitzkrieg said: Who made up this fake list? 🤣 Me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. we have other DE who have stepped up in Millers absence, no one can likely do what Daquan did on a game in and game out basis. he and Milano are the most irreplaceable (or have the highest WAR). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
