Matt Milano is this weekend in line to play his first game for the Buffalo Bills since October 2023 after the linebacker was activated from injured reserve.
Come Sunday night, when the Bills take on the San Francisco 49ers at a snowy Highmark Stadium, it will have been 420 days since Milano suited up for game.
The former All-Pro has been out since the Bills faced the Jaguars in London last season and his return is a huge boost for the Super Bowl hopefuls.
Milano missed Buffalo’s first 11 games of the NFL season after suffering a bicep tear back in mid-August. It came after the key defensive weapon suffered a season-ending leg injury against Jacksonville.
The Bills have also elevated quarterback Mike White and tight end Zach Davidson from the practice squad, with defensive tackle DeWayne Carter downgraded to out.
San Francisco, meanwhile, has been boosted by the news that Brock Purdy is set to return for their potentially season-defining game against the Bills.

Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium is caked in snow just a day before this Sunday’s showdown against the San Francisco 49ers.
Temperatures had already fallen below freezing by Saturday afternoon, with up to 4ft of snow expected before Sunday’s NFL clash.
But Buffalo was already painted white a day earlier as the weather turned brutal in Western New York.
Footage and pictures from Orchard Park showed the area around Highmark Stadium covered in snow, with visibility very limited and cars battling slushy roads.
Ahead of Sunday’s game, the Bills put a call out for volunteers to help clear the stadium in anticipation of the winter snow. ‘The rate of pay will be $20 per hour with food and hot beverages provided,’ the team said.
