Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins Linebacker Matt Milano Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery
Injury Update
Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano underwent successful knee surgery on Tuesday, according to a team statement. The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Milano is expected to make a full recovery, but he will miss the rest of the 2022 season.
Milano's Impact
Milano has been a key member of the Bills' defense since being drafted in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He has started 67 games in five seasons, recording 364 tackles, 11.5 sacks, seven interceptions, and three forced fumbles. Milano is known for his versatility and ability to play multiple positions in the Bills' defense.
Bills' Linebacker Depth
The Bills have several options to replace Milano in the lineup. Tremaine Edmunds is the team's starting middle linebacker, and he will likely see an increased role. A.J. Klein and Tyrel Dodson are also expected to contribute. The Bills may also look to add a linebacker via trade or free agency.
Playoff Implications
The Bills are currently 9-3 and in first place in the AFC East. Milano's injury is a blow to the team's defense, but they have the depth to overcome it. The Bills are still considered one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
