I think Milano will play on Sundays but not goin g to lie, AJ Klein has been playing well this year when he’s been out there. 

Me too. May be limited reps with AJ taking some of them. He is running around working with trainers now. As long as he doesn't have a setback during the week, he'll be fine.

Milano is a beast and has been awesome so far. At least Klein blitzes very well too, and can stop the run. He won't be covering Kelce anytime soon though....

They’ve been using poyer on TEs mostly

Unless they are being ultra cautious, Milano not practicing again today would indicate he's probably out this week against the Chiefs.

 

But at the end of the day if we do win this game it will be more about Allen and the offense and I think Klein is capable and certainly a better pass rusher which helps.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I'd like to think if he's limited tomorrow, he could (should?) play Sunday albeit w/ a limited snap count.

That’s probably accurate

Same here.  It could easily come down to a game time decision Sunday evening.

There's a whole lot of games left after Sunday, if he doesn't go it may be a matter of making sure he's healthy for the long haul.

Generally, two DNPs Wed-Thursday mean out Sunday.

Hamstring injuries tend to take time to heal and if it was bad enough to take him out of the game, I would expect it would take at least a couple weeks to fully heal. It's a long season and hammy injuries can easily become more severe if a player is rushed back on the field. No practice for Milano today likely means he won't suit up on Sunday unless he has a miraculous recovery. 

 

I think Andre Smith and Klein will split reps with Edmunds covering Kelce for the majority of the game. We also need Taron Johnson back to have a chance at keeping the Chiefs' offense in check.

What no love for Taiwan Jones's hammy?

[Steel City Mafia]

We’re gonna hate AJ Klein Sunday 

[TheFunPolice]

Honestly, I would rather see Milano rest up and come back 100% for the stretch run, rather than reinjure himself and be hobbled for most of the season. 

 

We all want this game, but it's still just a week 5 game in October. Last year, the Saints beat the Bucs twice, fairly handily each time.

 

Nobody really cares, because the Bucs beat them in the playoffs in the game that really mattered and went on to win the Super Bowl. 

 

I'm not saying this game doesn't matter, because it IS huge and exciting, but these teams will likely meet again in January. I want a 100% Milano in those games.

Is this guy ever healthy for a big game?

 

Hurt every single year.

Define “big game” - he has played in every playoff game since his rookie year

He was 100% healthy for the AFC Championship game and a complete non factor, but then again so was the entire defense that day.

Not shocking, especially if they just use him on 3rd/4th down situations which is what truly matters against an offense like KC.

 

If he does play and we get a win in KC, I'd be totally fine shutting him down for the Titans game and letting him sit through the bye week to presumably be ready for the stretch run and healthy.
