Heeeeere we go again

It’s always the same story with this guy. He’s great when he plays. But you cannot count on him. He gets hurt every damn season. If we were smart we would sit him the entire season and hope that he can show up to the playoffs healthy.

I'll wait until arm doctor chimes in before I begin panicking. 

 

Also, wouldn't it be funny if he wasn't a doctor at all, but just a guy who uses the line "ladies call me the thigh doctor" on women in bars?

That does sound kinky.  I'm gonna try it at the strip club this weekend and share the results

He has been reasonably healthy but sure, right now I would say he is very high risk.

Idk who this thigh doctor is, but I'd rather hear from Dr. Pete, the guy on Joe Marino's show. He's usually pretty accurate and not an attention *****.

You mean Kyle Trimble (who is on Joe Mariano's show regularly)? Here's what he says:

That's a ridiculous take by ThighDoc

 

It was later reported that Milano remained in pads, tested his arm with push-ups and moving/pickup a Jugs machine.  Trainers wouldn't allow him to do any physical strain, if they feared the worst

Well he's consistently wrong so that's good news. Pretty sure this guy just throws out worst case scenarios because it gets attention.

The amount of hate and accusations of attention seeking toward this dude simply because his speculation would be really unfortunate news for the Bills is wild.

For the record, he has been right and wrong in the past. He's simply a medical professional who shares his informed speculation on Twitter. He doesn't claim any secret knowledge or mysterious sources and he doesn't state anything definitively, and I've certainly never found him to be an attention seeker.

To each their own, but I think "don't shoot the messenger" (or, in this case, the informed speculator) applies here.

These camera chasing Drs. are all idiots.  David Chao is the worst.

Where were you at the start of Milano watch 2024?  

[SoonerBillsFan]

I am guessing 2 things here. 1) SLAP 2b Tear meaning proximal Biceps issue as well. And 2) this is a guy who has pushed his body beyond its breaking point repeatedly to play at a high level in the NFL, and his body is now just breaking down.  We have all seen this, body parts start breaking down and the player is never 100%.   I hope a couple of the offseason signings can step up.

What kind of doctor would speculate to the general public regarding someone’s medical condition based on nothing more than 25 seconds of cell phone video shot from 50 yards away, though?

Not just Milano but the injury bug biting key players we expect to contribute this year. Defense was decimated last year here is hoping it is not another repeat.

Your sharing of wild speculation, is not using "logic".

 

If he tore a bicep, you think he'd be trying push-ups and staying pads all practice...sound "logical"?

 

Again common sense applies here, not shoot the messenger as you say

Not sure I'd put too much stock in what "the thigh doctor" says on an arm injury...I'll wait to see what the team says/releases on it but I'm hoping good news.

Yes actually it does. The long head of biceps is attached to the labrum, so yeah he COULD be trying to figure out if its shoulder, elbow or whatever. No one said Biceps rupture.

Spoken like someone who never had a sports injury

[Tommy Callahan]

If something was torn or ruptured.  He wouldn't of just stayed on the sidelines or doing the push up.

We have undersized everything. Plenty of players with recent major injuries or injury history. When we have 3-4 starters on defense out by the middle of the season it's not bad luck, it's what should be expected. 

 

Despite the eyeroll reactions you're not wrong. Especially at LB. We should expect Milano and/or Bernard to miss time, it's part and parcel of their body type. IMO keeping 6 LBs is a must. Can't have a situation like the divisional round arise again. Milano, Bernard, Williams, Spector, and Ulofoshio are essentially locks, but I would 100% keep whoever looks better between Morrow and Jones too.
