Inside the Bills: With Matt Milano's return imminent, Dorian Williams' future as a starter is unclear
‘“Control what you can control. Obviously, he wants to be out there. I want to be out there,” Williams said Wednesday after practice. “Both of us can’t. I’m going to cheer for him. That’s my guy. Obviously, you want to be out there. Everybody wants to be out there, but (expletive) it. I mean, I’m here to win games. It’s going to be all right.”’
PlayAction column: 49ers heavy use of fullback Kyle Juszczyk will stress Bills' nickel defense
‘San Francisco’s Kyle Juszczyk has made the Pro Bowl eight straight seasons and has been on the field more than any fullback in the NFL the past decade. In other words, Juszczyk is the NFL’s top dinosaur.’
Josh Allen sparks Bills coach Sean McDermott's newfound fourth-down aggressiveness
‘McDermott has opted to go for it on fourth down 14 times this season, with 12 conversions, which are the fourth-most in the league. The Bills are keeping the offense on the field 1.2 times per game after doing so just 94 times in 98 games from 2017 to 2023.’

Buffalo Bills can clinch AFC East with win vs. 49ers; full scenario
‘With the Miami Dolphins’ loss against the Packers on Thursday Night Football, the Bills have a commanding lead in the AFC East. Buffalo (9-2) will clinch the AFC East title with a win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.’
Will Buffalo Bills LB Matt Milano make season debut vs. 49ers?
‘“Probably what you would expect just in terms of getting back into the flow, endurance, because he hasn’t played football in quite some time,” McDermott said at his Wednesday press conference. “Really just trying to take it one day at a time, one play at a time, not to sound like it’s coach speak, but that’s really what we’re looking at.”’
Bills can clinch fifth-straight AFC East title with win Sunday over 49ers
‘With the loss, the Dolphins fall to 5-7 on the season with five games remaining on their schedule. The best Miami could finish, at this point, in the standings is 10-7 if the Dolphins manage to win the remaining games on their schedule.’
Bills LB Matt Milano moves closer toward his return to the field
‘”Probably what you would expect just in terms of getting back into the flow, endurance, because he hasn’t played football in quite some time, so really just trying to take it one day at a time, one play at a time. Not to sound like it’s coach-speak, but that’s really what we’re looking at,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday during a news conference.’

Giving thanks and giving back: Buffalo Bills spend November in the community
‘On the Monday of the Bills’ bye week, Coleman, the rookie wide receiver, hosted an event at Highmark Stadium for more than 80 kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Buffalo. The kids came in buses to the Bills’ facility, where they first got tours of the locker rooms, had some time to play on the field, and then the main event: Each kid got their own Nike jacket. But, of course, there was the added bonus of getting quality time with Coleman himself.’
Mark Gaughan: Bobby Babich pushing right buttons entering stretch vs. offensive geniuses
‘“Like anything else, I think you get better with experience,” McDermott said. “To be a play caller is the toughest job, to me, on the football side of the building. No offense to anybody else’s job, my job included. Not only do you have to shape a game plan, but you have to call a game, and you’ve got 65-70 plays roughly on average to get exactly right, to get the players in exactly the right position, and that is really hard to do against good football teams, in particular.”’
Bills’ Matt Milano could return vs. 49ers: ‘He’s where he left off, if not better’
‘Sunday could be the day Douglas has been waiting for — because Milano is closing in on his return. The 30-year-old was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. He wore a red non-contact jersey during his first week of practices after the Bills opened his 21-day window on Nov. 11. He was out of the red jersey on Wednesday.’
Updates on Kincaid, Brown, Coleman and others from Wednesday Bills practice
‘Per Sean McDermott, tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was held out of Wednesday’s session, while right tackle Spencer Brown (ankle) and wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) were both be limited. Brown was wearing a brace on his injured right ankle, while Coleman was still without any bracing or wrap on his injured right wrist but was wearing a red non-contact jersey.’
How much should the Bills expect from Matt Milano as he nears return to action?
‘The Bills have not announced whether Milano will play against the 49ers and they have some time. Milano does not have to be added to the active roster until after Sunday’s game, and even if they bring him back to avoid losing him for the rest of the season, he still doesn’t have to play right away, like cornerback Tre’Davious White, who was activated on Nov. 1, 2022, but didn’t play for another three weeks.’
