Bills Solemn In Response to Matt Milano Injury

Matt Milano has been a constant leader and dominant player for the Buffalo Bills over the last seven seasons.

Despite having his season derailed due to injuries in 2023, the Bills hoped a healthy Milano would be able to keep their defense among the elites in the game for 2024.

Then the linebacker tore his biceps during practice - effectively ending his 2024 campaign as well.

“To have this happen, it breaks my heart. It breaks most of our guys’ hearts on the defense,” said Bills' edge rusher AJ Epenesa. “We all love and care about him. You guys know what he means to us as a player, as a man, and as a person. It’s hard for us to see him go through this. We’re just going to try and be as supportive as possible.”

For a team to try and rally around an injured player, the person in question must have complete respect from the entire locker room.

To this point, that's exactly what Milano has.

The first-team All-Pro has begun his recovery to this point and will help Buffalo in whatever they need on the sideline as they look to win their fifth-straight AFC East title.

It certainly won't be easy, but the Bills have strong leadership in place to keep Milano a symbol for the 2024 season.
