Terrel Bernard right ankle. Had an air cast, now in boot and crutches 📉 but X-ray negative 📈 Likely a 2 week lateral ankle sprain. Much improved diagnosis though!

DQ came back 11 weeks post-op pec repair and played 53% snaps last week!
The world bowed down to JJ Watt, who came back in same time for 2019 playoffs
DQ deserves praise. A freak!

In case you’re wondering about Allen. Right arm stinger. They checked his left upper trap area , but you can see him squeezing right hand. Based on rxn at handshakes, it was minor. Ok for next week

All 3 were listed as limited during yesterday's walk thru.
Johnson remains in the red non-contact jersey.

injury roundup 🧵
WR Curtis Samuel (turf toe) 2-4 weeks. He’s one week rested already. Well recovered wk 1- can get aggravated
QB Mitch Trubisky (MCL) 2-4 weeks. Can brace and be fine backing up by wk 1

His concussion in the Wild Card game showed alarming symptoms
Is it too much to rush back with 6 days rest from 2nd concussion of season? 🥶🧠🙏🏻

Here's our first and only look this week at Terrel Bernard ...

Bernard *not* ruled out yet for Sunday against the Chiefs after leaving the wild card game on a cart with an ankle injury.
#Bills
Bills CB Rasul Douglas (knee) is optimistic he will play tonight vs. Chiefs. It’s a “we’ll see,” one source told me. Pregame workout likely to see if he can be full-go.

having trouble staying on toes of left foot which had the Achilles surgery last September. Notice how heel slams into grass on drop vs last year. Still haven’t seen him run yet 😬

Good news for Milano’s ACL!! Still no clarity on what the fracture is and if MCL needs to be repaired
Jones getting pec repaired. Could come back in 3 months , weak but serviceable

Bills HC Sean McDermott says LB Matt Milano and DT DaQuan Jones will both require surgery and are out. They don't know if either will be out for the season just yet.
Worry is bicep tendon torn. Don’t see a popeye sign, but idk it’s brief. Not going into locker room good, but doesn’t move needle a ton.
Could play with a torn bicep, lots of guys do fix them tho.
Stinger/shoulder less likely but possible
Former All-Pro LB Matt Milano exited positional drills during
#Bills
Tuesday practice due to an apparent left arm injury. Athletic trainers spent time looking at his bicep/elbow area, Milano tested the injury a bit but did not return

@BfloFanatics
ESPN sources: Bills Pro-Bowl linebacker Matt Milano, who left Tuesday’s practice injured, tore his bicep and now will be out indefinitely. Milano will undergo surgery on his torn bicep with the hope of trying to return later this season, possibly in December.
Vet rest days for WR Stefon Diggs and DT DaQuan Jones.
RB Ty Johnson practicing in a red noncontact jersey, but he has cleared concussion protocol.
LB Tyrel Dodson participation during open portion
No Rasul Douglas, Gabe Davis or Taylor Rapp, as expected
#Bills
#MitchTrubisky
Left knee injury. Stayed in for 4 more plays. Looks like a textbook mild MCL, with VERY low chance meniscus and/or ACL
OK by Week 1, might need another camp arm. Full game for DiNucci on kids day

games constantly evolving. Josh caught people off guard in 2020 on his glow up. Then he had trouble with the blitz, but solved it. Now teams just cover with 7 and watch him self destruct. It’s less about them and more ab josh getting the next counter 🥊

talks about “refining” his throwing motion, after developing a compensation in his mechanics last season. This was due to his shoulder injury (AC joint) he sustained in Week 6. Biometrek in town to save the day

Ok so labral surgery for Spencer Brown (fix dislocated shoulder). 7-9 month recovery. Great results. Likely PUP to start camp, but will be close in July. FULL go by week 1
#billsmafia
Spencer Brown's recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
He suffered the injury during KC playoff loss, but finished the game.
Then it got worse... on drive home on Big Tree Road.
"I just leaned into my driver side door and dislocated it while sitting in traffic."
#Bills
Still ~ 10 wk post op. He can clear at 12 weeks- if activated do not expect he plays before Miami game. Also, don’t expect a lot- will be weak ~75% strength + harness + snap limit
Take two weeks to get in football shape tho 👌🏼🦵🏼

snap count notes vs. NE:
Stefon Diggs just 65%
Gabe Davis 91% and Khalil Shakir 80%
Trent Sherfield 19 snaps (28%)
Latavius Murray 19 snaps
Ty Johnson 13 snaps
DaQuan Jones 28 snaps in return (53%)
Kingsley Jonathan 12 snaps
Tim Settle + Poona Ford 20 snaps each
Poyer looks fine.
Benford just has tape on shoulder - no harness. Rules out the severe (dislocation). In red jersey and practicing. So it hurts but will play. Still arguably a contusion or ac joint sprain
Benford looks like RIGHT toe gets stuck and knee twists awkwardly underneath as he turns. 🎥 not great. Likely meniscus. Might be something , we shall see

Very ominous for
#jetup
Yes it’s a blister, yes it’s his other heel. However, imo it confirms my suspicion he’s favoring his surgical repair. Overcompensating, over time, will break down his ‘good side’. Had the calf on the right last year 😬⏰

The pursuit of a Super Bowl consumes Brandon Beane every day. I sat down with the
#Bills
GM for an hour this week. It was illuminating.
At Go Long:
Hyperextension of left thumb IP joint. Could he have genetic laxity of ligaments (would explain his ability to avoid some injuries) or possibly an old sprain and a loose thumb 👍🏻
#billsmafia
Sean McDermott said that LB Terrel Bernard will not practice today and his availability will depend on how things trend the rest of the day, this evening and tomorrow
Observation on Milano
Upper body looking ⛽️up
As for the running - obviously we see a light jog, but can see a mild limitation on right active knee flexion. Similar to Tre White off ACL. Not ideal but not major for now.

Tyrel Dodson
#BILLS
Not seeing anything specific. Got to assume it’s AC joint. Can play thru pain if can tolerate it. Sometimes guys will miss a week with a mild-moderate sprain but it’s playoffs … likely plays

with hitchhikers thumb. Excessive mobility at distal joints is a blessing and a curse. A little extra is good (helps adapt to stresses of sport), too much is bad (excessive shear forces leading to joint pain). Was Josh made perfect for sport? 👍🏻

#billsmafia
Fwiw this is a mild sprain. Shouldn’t bother him much unless he whacks it again. Resolves in 1-2 weeks. Little worse in cold- gripping issues. Occurred with :13 left 👀 in 1st Q during Pats game last week
