Bills Rule Out Milano and Oliver for Thursday as Allen Expects to Play with Visor

Buffalo’s defense faces a depth test on the short turnaround.

Overview

  • Head coach Sean McDermott said linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) and defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle) are out for Thursday night’s game against the Dolphins.
  • Quarterback Josh Allen was not listed on the injury report and said he will probably wear a clear visor to protect his bruised nose.
  • Allen practiced with the visor Tuesday and noted it feels slightly warmer but does not affect his play, and he has 107 consecutive starts, the longest active streak among NFL quarterbacks.
  • Monday’s report listed Shaq Thompson (hamstring/hand), Taron Johnson (quadriceps) and Cam Lewis (shoulder) as limited, with rookie Jordan Hancock returning to full participation.
  • Milano’s latest setback follows multiple injuries in recent seasons, and the team has not provided a timetable for the returns of him or Oliver.
