ORCHARD PARK Womens Ed Oliver Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Bills starting linebacker Matt Milano will miss the final three weeks of the season with a broken left leg, while the status of running backs LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory are considered more promising.Milano had surgery for a broken fibula on Monday, a day after being hurt in a 27-23 loss to the New York Jets.Coach Sean McDermott said the initial prognosis for Milano’s recovery was positive, though he didn’t provide any timetable of when the second-year player might be cleared for practice in the offseason.Milano was hurt when his leg became twisted in a pile after he stopped quarterback Sam Darnold from scoring at the Buffalo 1 on third-and-goal from the 4 with 1:22 remaining.Milano has been a valuable every-down player on one of the NFL’s top-ranked defenses. He entered the game Sunday tied for second in the league with six takeaways, and was second on the team in being credited with 72 tackles.As for McCoy and Ivory, McDermott listed them day to day with Buffalo (4-9) preparing to host the Detroit Lions (5-8) on Sunday.McCoy did not return after hurting his hamstring when he was stopped for no gain on first-and-goal from the 6 during Buffalo’s opening drive. Ivory did not return after hurting his left shoulder following an 8-yard run early in the fourth quarter.McDermott said he’ll have a better idea regarding their availability to play once the team returns to practice Wednesday.With both out against the Jets, Buffalo finished the game with just one healthy running back, Marcus Murphy. Receiver Isaiah McKenzie has been used in running situations, and scored on a 15-yard sweep against the Jets. Buffalo also has rookie running back Keith Ford on its practice squad.The injuries to McCoy and Ivory place more of a strain on a sputtering running attack getting most of its production from scrambling quarterback Josh Allen.The rookie has combined for 335 yards rushing in the past three games, and now leads Buffalo in yards rushing, 490, and has five touchdowns rushing. Allen has moved past McCoy, who’s managed just 479 yards rushing and two touchdowns in essentially 10 games. He missed one with a rib injury and has now twice been injured on the Bills’ first possession.McCoy’s drop in production comes a year after the 30-year-old topped 1,100 yards rushing for the fifth time in his first nine NFL seasons.The blame falls on a combination of factors.The Bills feature a patchwork offensive line after losing starting center Eric Wood and starting left guard Richie Incognito this past offseason. Another issue is McCoy being tentative and failing to find openings.“We’re trying,” offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said. “It starts with me. We just need to do a better job of blocking it, whether it be with the up-front guys or receivers.”As much as the offense is enjoying a boost with Allen running Cody Ford Jersey , concerns are arising that the rookie is exposing himself to too many hits, especially after recently missing four games with a sprained right throwing elbow.“We’ve got to take a hard look at that,” McDermott said. “I know that when the quarterback is your leading rusher, it’s not a healthy thing week in and week out.”With 101 yards rushing against the Jets, Allen became just the second quarterback in NFL history to top 90 yards in three consecutive games, joining Tobin Rote, who did that with Green Bay in 1951.He also joins elite Bills company in becoming Buffalo’s first player to top 95 yards rushing in three straight games since Fred Jackson in 2011. Allen also became Buffalo’s fourth player to enjoy such a streak along with Jackson and Hall of Famers Thurman Thomas and O.J. Simpson.“It’s probably going to be an ongoing conversation,” McDermott said, referring to how often Allen should run. “Mobile quarterbacks, there’s a conversation about them every week: Are they running too much? Are they not running enough? At the end of the day, we’ve got to keep Josh upright.”McDermott was unhappy with Jets defensive lineman Henry Anderson’s blindside hit on kicker Stephen Hauschka on the final play of the first half. After Anderson blocked Hauschka’s 49-yard attempt, the Jets player then bowled over the kicker from behind.Hauschka continued playing despite sustaining a hip injury.“There’s no place in football for it,” McDermott said. “I thought that should’ve been called. But (the officials) didn’t see it, obviously.” Where is the Michigan defensive lineman going to end up?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections NewsNotesOpinionAnalysisDiscussionPodcastNFL DraftSalary CapNFL DraftBuffalo Bills NFL Draft CoverageScouting Report: Rashan Gary is a massive question markNew,16commentsWhere is the Michigan defensive lineman going to end up?EDTShareTweetShareShareScouting Report: Rashan Gary is a massive question markThe Buffalo Bills have the makings of a solid defense for the upcoming 2019 season. A star-studded secondary of Tre’Davious White, Micah Hyde https://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-devin-singletary-jersey , and Jordan Poyer return for the Bills, but the defensive line needs work. With veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams officially retired, Buffalo may look to boost its overall quarterback-pressure system. Former Michigan defensive end Rashan Gary could be the fountain of youth the Bills turn to, but his potential for professional success is a massive question mark.Gary, the former No. 1 recruit in the country, played three seasons for the Wolverines and announced that he would forgo his senior year in Ann Arbor to enter the 2019 NFL Draft. It was clear after the collegiate regular season that Gary was ready to go pro after opting to sit out of the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl against Florida, in which Michigan was routed 41-15. The 6’5,” 283-lb defensive end is listed as an early- to mid-first round pick on almost every mock draft. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. had Gary slated to wear a Bills cap with the ninth overall pick in his mock draft 3.0. Gary was listed behind fellow defensive ends Nick Bosa at two to the San Francisco 49ers and Montez Sweat just before at eight to the Detroit Lions.Statistically, Gary is not the most polished defensive lineman in the draft. In nine games last year, the former Wolverine recorded just 38 tackles and 3.5 sacks. This was a steep decline from his sophomore-year campaign in which he tallied career highs of 61 tackles and six sacks.Gary’s ever-changing mold is his strongest attribute, which could help him fit into the Bills’ scheme faster than other defensive playmakers in the draft.“The scheme versatility that he brings is going to make him a very coveted player come late April,” said Mel Kiper Jr. before the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.The combine proved critical to Gary’s draft stock. The then 277-lb pass rusher ran an official 4.58 40-yard dash. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Gary’s speed has been one of his higher selling points, jumping off the line of scrimmage with surprising quickness for his size. Even when not rushing immediately at the snap, his patience leads to shooting the gap at remarkable speed towards opposing quarterbacks.Here he is at the bottom of the screen blowing past the right tackle to force a really quick pass.He has the size. He has the speed. Gary has two favorable traits NFL scouts want to see in edge rushers, but injury rumors could keep him out of the top ten and off some teams’ big boards. CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora reported that “some teams have medical red flags” tagged on Gary Womens Dawson Knox Jersey , not naming any individual teams like the Bills. Gary came off shoulder surgery last year, but it is unknown if that specific injury or an unknown one raised the reported warning signs.The Bills have recent experience drafting defensive ends with shoulder injuries. 2016 first round pick Shaq Lawson was selected 19th overall out of Clemson, but was out until late October after having shoulder surgery that May. If Buffalo has any reason to hesitate on selecting Gary, this is it.Personality-wise, Gary appears to be a committed professional already thinking about the long term. The projected early pick is now the founder and CEO of his own sports agency, Rashan Gary Sports. In an interview with the Associated Press, Gary said he wants to change the game and sign athletes across many professional sports, including Major League Baseball.“The older I got, I understood that football is not forever,” said Gary to the AP. “This is a step to take care of my family in the long run. Starting this agency is a way I can definitely do that in my years on the football field and the years when I’m not on the football field.”Overall, Gary seems mentally prepared to take on the NFL. Whether or not his game reflects that remains to be seen, in a Bills royal blue jersey or otherwise.
