Matt Milano about to return to the Buffalo Bills?

The All-Pro linebacker is currently recovering from another injury, but this suggests he may return to the field sooner than some thought.

Matt Milano is a game-changer for the Buffalo Bills defense, which is an understatement. Every team in the National Football League values ​​his ability to cover the entire field and make game-changing plays. There's just one problem: Milano doesn't seem to be able to stay on the field.

Of course that's not his fault. Injuries have plagued #58 since he took over the starting position in 2018. In fact, he hasn't played a full season since.

Milano was coming back from a broken leg he suffered this season and appeared ready to go at the start of training camp. Then he tore his bicep.

It is a serious injury that can easily end a player's season. Milano's return was not expected until December at the earliest. That's likely still the case, although head coach Sean McDermott has never set an official schedule.

As for why he *might* be close to returning, that's where he was seen last week and before this week's Baltimore game: the sidelines.

For mild biceps tears, healing can take 10 weeks. It's been about seven weeks since his injury, meaning he could be gearing up for a comeback sooner than some thought. I would expect the Bills to be cautious even when he is ready, as a healthy Matt Milano joining a team that already excels on defense without him would make them even more dangerous as the regular season progresses .

This defense will be tested tonight by Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football on Peacock.
