2024 Fantasy Outlook
Milano, who was a first-team All-Pro just two seasons ago, has a degree of upside as a fantasy asset and has proven his value as a steady NFL defender for seven seasons now. As he approached his age-30 campaign, the 2017-third-rounder was returning from a leg injury that limited his effectiveness in 2023. Unfortunately 6-0, 223-pounder sustained another injury in August (torn biceps) that will sideline him indefinitely. Read Past Outlooks
Ruled out for Week 11
Milano (biceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Milano was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window, but he was never expected to play versus Kansas City. Buffalo has a Week 12 bye, so a Week 13 return against San Francisco makes more sense for the Buffalo linebacker.

Milano is as steady as they come and still in his prime heading into his age-29 campaign. The 6-0, 223-pounder enters his seventh year with the Bills coming off a 2022 effort in which he recorded 99 tackles (72 solo), 1.5 sacks, 11 passes defended and three interceptions. This coming season, the Bills are once again counting on Milano to anchor a strong defense while working as a core piece at outside linebacker.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Closing in on return
Milano will have his 21-day practice window opened by the Bills this week as he nears his return from a bicep injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
While the veteran linebacker won't play in Week 11 against Kansas City, Milano could return to the lineup after Buffalo's Week 12 bye. The 30-year-old hasn't played a full season since 2017 and suited up for only five games in 2023, but Milano did record 99 total tackles over 15 regular-season contests in 2022.
