The Bills will not have one of their leading tacklers for the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. Here's the Bills injury update.
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.
Unfortunately, the Buffalo Bills have a few names to watch on their injury report this week ahead of facing the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game.
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.
Milano (hamstring/elbow) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's road AFC Championship Game at Kansas City.
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.
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.
Travis Kelce feels confident about Kansas City in these two areas before the Chiefs vs. Bills AFC Championship game.
The winner advances to the Super Bowl on February 9 in New Orleans, and will face either Philadelphia Eagles or Washington Commanders.
