Fortunately, linebacker Terrel Bernard has calmed any concern. While partner-in-crime Matt Milano missed the last few plays of the divisional round win due to what was revealed as "hamstring soreness," Bernard reported that his teammate "looked good" during Thursday's practice in Orchard Park.

Safety Taylor Rapp will miss the AFC title game, while Matt Milano, Taron Johnson look to be set to go. Christian Benford is still in concussion protocol.

The preparations are underway for the Buffalo Bills ahead of the AFC championship game. The Bills (13-4) have had their eye on Super Bowl 59 all year… and realistically, right next to that in the back of the team’s mind has been a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) in the postseason. That’s on deck.

The hamstring issue comes at a horrible time for the Bills and Milano, who has played excellent football in the past two playoff games. He made several important plays against the Ravens, including a pass breakup on Lamar Jackson’s two-point conversion attempt in the third quarter of Buffalo’s 27-25 victory.

ORCHARD PARK - A season-long trend, one in which the Buffalo Bills had been given a reprieve from in the last few weeks, has returned at quite an inopportune time: Injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

Von Miller was a menace against his former team. Buffalo had limited Miller’s snaps all season long, but he saw an uptick in snaps on Wild Card Weekend. Miller created five pressures on just 16 pass-rush snaps (20 total) in the win earning him an 81.2 pass rush grade. Buffalo needs this from Miller throughout the entirety of the playoffs.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (biceps, hamstring) and cornerback Taron Johnson (neck, shoulder) have both been cleared from the final injury report on Friday and will be active against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday for the AFC Championship tilt.

Orchard Park, N.Y. – Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano missed the final three plays against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday and coach Sean McDermott revealed the reason why on Wednesday.

Before the AFC Championship between the Bills and Chiefs, Dan Orlovsky and Ryan Clark had some valuable advice on stopping TE Travis Kelce.

After being a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was fully involved on Thursday, putting him in line to start Sunday's NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders without an injury concern.

The winner advances to the Super Bowl on February 9 in New Orleans, and will face either Philadelphia Eagles or Washington Commanders.
