Roundybout Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Just now, stevestojan said: At this point, he’s getting paid a lot to not play. Glad the trainers were asking him to do pushups to test out the injury. I’m sure that’s great for a torn bicep. Im sure the trainers with masters degrees in PT know more than you do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 So much for sitting him out in a preseason game. Just reaffirms - injuries can happen anywhere at any time. This one happened in an individual drill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 4 minutes ago, NickelCity said: Dorian sure doesn't look ready. Spector, if healthy, I'm guessing. Yea it’s not great. Though from his rookie year and last preseason you would not have guessed Bernard was going to play as well as he did. Even Dotson looks bad in preseason and played pretty well in season. Milano has been such a great player when he is healthy for us and I hope he gets back this year, but the rebuild is continuing on the fly this year. Time for young players to fill in and hopefully excel like the stalwarts we have lost this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th&long Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 2 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Anyone ever think these injuries happen because guys get too bulky? I think a lot of these injuries on all players, soft tissue especially, are because of doing roids or other performance enhancing drugs. They get too big. If I was a scout I would look for players who are naturally strong, big, fit if possible. Admittedly probably hard to do or tell the difference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I'm not a cap expert but looking at his contract it looks like we can't realistically move on prior to his contract expiring in 2027, is that correct? I love Milano, one of my favorite Bills of the last decade. This stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 4 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: If we are in the playoff race at that point, then most likely Williams or whoever is playing that spot may be doing just fine. We all want to think they are still competing this year, but the way Beane is operating he is planning for a big splash this offseason and a run in 2025. Milano is already 30. They need to give Josh a raise and pay Rousseau this off season. It's harsh but we don't even know if he would have been any good coming off the leg fracture. Rousseau is Shaq Lawson 2.0. No need to give him top 20 EDGE money to not rush the passer. 1 1 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven50 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 One of the you cap guru guys what are the options if we cut the cord with him? Injury settlement dead cap space etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Just now, Roundybout said: The leg injury was not something you can train for, it was a freak thing. Not sure about the bicep one but I don’t think you can blame the training staff foremost. But you can expect undersized players to have more injuries .. you can expect older players to have more injuries / take longer to come back from injury. This is now the third big money guy on defense in the past 3 years to effectively miss two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER DOT COM Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Could be a blessing - his stop and go was noticeably limited in camp. Don’t think his knee is fully healthy yet (similar to “healthy” Von last year). with that said, he’s no longer a spring chicken. Time to find a good, young, replacement for Milano. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right and he can't stay healthy either. But my guess is he gets 10 sacks this year and Bills sign him to an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 11 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: I will probably get blasted, but it's time to give Milano an injury settlement and cut ties with him. This sucks but they already drafted his replacement. I won't blast you, cause I get the frustration, but I do disagree. I am hoping he will be back for the playoffs, and is ready to contribute at his former all-pro level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 19 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: This was a big concern for me coming into the season. Both our key LBs are undersized, so injury risk was something that had me worried because not having both last year was a major reason we lost the KC game. Entering the year already down Milano is no bueno. How exact does Milano's size contribute to tearing a bicep on a tackling dummy? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
