Bills LB Matt Milano, CB Rasul Douglas set to return
Dec 27, 2024
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) — Two important Buffalo Bills defenders are expected back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
Linebacker Matt Milano and cornerback Rasul Douglas do not have injury designations for the regular season home finale. Milano missed last week's game against the New England Patriots with a groin injury, and Doulgas has missed the past two games after hurting his knee.
Listed as questionable to play are Bills starting safeties Taylor Rapp (neck) and Damar Hamlin (rib), defensive back Cam Lewis (shoulder) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib). All were limited in practice this week.

The Bills (12-3) can clinch the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs with a win against the Jets (4-11).
Jets receiver Davante Adams is questionable, but likely to play after participating on a limited basis Friday because of a hip ailment that held him out Thursday. Cornerback Sauce Gardner is also questionable with a hamstring injury that sidelined him in the second half of New York's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Kicker Greg Zuerlein will be activated from injured reserve and will play, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said.
