Officially, Terrel Bernard is doubtful for Sunday’s match. After spraining his right ankle during the third quarter, Bernard was helped off the field in the Wild Card.
Fortunately, Bernard’s ankle sprain is not causing him any major damage, so he can still play. Sean McDermott, head coach, is optimistic that he will play:
According to McDermott, there is hope. “This morning, he has meetings. The way he was hauled out gave the impression that he was grateful it wasn’t any worse. So, let’s just take things one day at a time here.In his first season as the team’s full-time starting middle linebacker, Bernard is performing admirably. In addition to nine quarterback hits, 6.5 sacks, three interceptions, five pass deflections, and 143 tackles, he also has 10 tackles for a loss.
There are more LBs besides Terrel Bernard who are injured. Tyrel Dodson’s shoulder issue kept him out of the game last week. The good news for Dodson is that he will play versus Kansas City and has been taken off the injury report.
Due to a back injury sustained during last week’s game, Baylon Spector is not available.
Their top linebacker, Matt Milano, sustained a serious knee injury and a fractured leg in London, and he hasn’t played since Week 5. Milano is not anticipated to play again anytime soon.
Bernard is expected to play for the Buffalo Bills against the Kansas City Chiefs. He is among the team’s better defenders. Since they are the ones who get play calls from the defensive play caller, middle linebacker positions are crucial.
If he is unable to participate, they will have to depend on Dorian Williams or A.J. Klein.
If Bernard is unable to play, they will have to depend on A.J. Klein. In his 11 years in the NFL, Klein has racked up 465 tackles, 45 of which have been for a loss, 27 quarterback hits, 15.5 sacks, four pick-sixes, 20 pass deflections, eight forced fumbles, and four interceptions.
Klein was packed and ready for vacation when Buffalo signed him to the practice squad and advanced him against Pittsburgh.
