Fortunately, the Bills got a key update on linebacker Matt Milano, whose hamstring flared up during the 27-25 Divisional Round win over the Baltimore Ravens. The update came via his co-star, linebacker Terrel Bernard.

The Buffalo Bills may have to face the Kansas City Chiefs without veteran linebacker Matt Milano after he was listed on the team’s injury report this week. Is Milano expected to be healthy for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game?

Safety Taylor Rapp will miss the AFC title game, while Matt Milano, Taron Johnson look to be set to go. Christian Benford is still in concussion protocol.

Defensive tackle DaRon Payne (knee/finger) also didn't practice along with linebacker Bobby Wagner (ankle). Tight end Zach Ertz (ribs) had a rest day, along with pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. (non injury related).

Fortunately, linebacker Terrel Bernard has calmed any concern. While partner-in-crime Matt Milano missed the last few plays of the divisional round win due to what was revealed as "hamstring soreness," Bernard reported that his teammate "looked good" during Thursday's practice in Orchard Park.

The Bills will not have one of their leading tacklers for the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. Here's the Bills injury update.

The preparations are underway for the Buffalo Bills ahead of the AFC championship game. The Bills (13-4) have had their eye on Super Bowl 59 all year… and realistically, right next to that in the back of the team’s mind has been a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) in the postseason. That’s on deck.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (biceps, hamstring) and cornerback Taron Johnson (neck, shoulder) have both been cleared from the final injury report on Friday and will be active against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday for the AFC Championship tilt.

After being a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was fully involved on Thursday, putting him in line to start Sunday's NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders without an injury concern.

The hamstring issue comes at a horrible time for the Bills and Milano, who has played excellent football in the past two playoff games. He made several important plays against the Ravens, including a pass breakup on Lamar Jackson’s two-point conversion attempt in the third quarter of Buffalo’s 27-25 victory.

Unfortunately, the Buffalo Bills have a few names to watch on their injury report this week ahead of facing the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game.
