by Bills activate All-Pro linebacker off IR ahead of 49ers game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Buffalo Bills defense could receive a big boost for Sunday night’s showdown against the 49ers.
All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano was activated off injured reserve by the Bills on Saturday. The team will determine Sunday whether the 30-year-old will be active for the “Sunday Night Football” game at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.
Milano earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2022, but suffered a torn biceps during the Bills’ Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London last season.
Additionally, the Bills elevated quarterback Mike White and tight end Zach Davidson from the practice squad. Defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, currently on injured reserve, was demoted due to a wrist injury.
Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will miss Sunday’s game, while rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman is questionable (wrist).
Milan made 30 total tackles in five games last season before suffering a season-ending injury.
Kickoff between the 49ers and Bills is scheduled for 5:20 p.m. PT on NBC, with heavy snow and wind expected before and during the game.
