The Buffalo Bills are optimistic about the return of several injured players, including former All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano. The team has opened 21-day practice windows for rookies Tylan Grable and DeWayne Carter, who have been on injured reserve since September and October, respectively.

Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed the news during a media session. Grable, a sixth-round pick, suffered an abdominal injury in Week 3, while Carter had wrist surgery after a Week 7 game. Both players are expected to contribute soon, with Grable's return being particularly noteworthy as he had been performing well before his injury.
