Jones has to maul his was past a 300+lb man EVERY snap, hand fighting the entire time.  

This is true.

But it is also true of Watt. 

Watt is a hand in the dirt defender and often has to fight through two players (because teams put extra guys on him). He is ont he left here:

Looks like he lost his footing...the Tackle was just kind of there to help him to the ground.

Joseph has filled in pretty well.  Barring any new injuries, personally if I'd rather have Milano back of the two.  Think that may be a bigger help.

They're rolling right now and can afford to ease him back in very slowly.

Waiting to dress him for the Miami game would give them a nice bump and allow him another few weeks to heal.

 

Yeah, I think they might activate him and let him start practicing for the next 2 weeks.  Guys always think they'll be ready to go immediately and need the training staff to pull the reins in.

I would be tempted (if he's cleared) to have him back for the NE game. Limited snaps, of course.  But just something to help get his game legs back under him before the Miami game.

And I'd like a vacation to the Dominican Republic, and a Pony.

 

It's not a question of preference, it's a question of the normal recovery timeline for the injury.  McDermott said that it was a chance to get DaQuan back late in the season, but not Milano from what he's been told about it.  That fits what Bangedup Bills said about the timeline of a pec tear requiring surgery (what Jones had) vs. a tibial plateau fracture (if that's what Milano had)

I’m guessing he’ll return for the Miami game.

Why do you want a pony??

 

Yes I get it, BUT if I could snap my magic fingers I'd prefer Milano, but likely not the case.

Back for Miami + playoffs. Nice!

This^.  Or if we lock up the playoffs sooner, let him sit until then.  While the defense is playing a lot better, our front 4 was beyond exceptional with him in the game.  A healthy Jones would really bring us up a level

OP, you may want to edit the thread title to update the news that the Bills have designated DaQuan Jones for return from IR

Man, hate to get out in front of my skis here, but the way the team is playing and getting a few key guys back at the right time has me hopeful this could be a big year after all!

Who doesn't want a pony? Especially for Christmas

With Phillips out, the Bills appear to be ready to call on Poona Ford.  Frankly, he's just a band aid.  Buffalo should be OK facing the Chargers without Phillips this week and the Patriots on New Years Eve.  It would be great if they could get Jones back for the Dolphins in the finale.  If the Bills make the playoffs, I think there is a pretty good chance Phillips will be back.
