Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR Sports Radio 550) - It sounded like encouraging news on the status of Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano on Tuesday.
During his meeting with the Buffalo media ahead of practice, head coach Sean McDermott said there was a chance Milano could return to practice on Wednesday. Milano missed practice on Monday and Tuesday as he deals with a pectoral injury.
McDermott did not commit to the nine-year veteran returning on Wednesday, and also didn’t completely rule out a longer term injury.
"We'll see. Hopefully we'll get him back as we head into tomorrow here," said McDermott, adding he could "potentially" practice on Wednesday.
The Bills will host the Miami Dolphins this Thursday night at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.
As for defensive tackle Ed Oliver, he, once again, joined Milano as the only players who did not participate in Tuesday's practice, with no change in status to the Monday injury report.
Defensive backs Taron Johnson and Cam Lewis were both limited participants. Lewis was the only player on the field in a red non-contact jersey, while Johnson and linebacker Shaq Thompson both wore regular white defensive jerseys.
Defensive back Jordan Hancock was, once again, a full participant for the Bills at practice. Hancock was not active during Sunday’s 30-10 win over the New York Jets, but could make his NFL debut on Thursday night.
