Buffalo Bills injury report ahead of Week 3 vs. Dolphins
Buffalo is already down one defensive playmaker in Ed Oliver, who doesn't look like he'll be ready to compete in the upcoming Week 3 matchup, and now Milano.
The front office has always been hesitant to rush players back from injury, especially on a short week. It's not looking good for Milano or Oliver to get into the upcoming contest, and the team could be without Cam Lewis and Taron Johnson depending on how they trend throughout the week.
On the bright side, Lewis and Johnson returned to the field in a limited capacity, though their status remains questionable. Rounding out the injury report, Jordan Hancock was a full participant after dealing with a shoulder injury, and Shaq Thompson was limited while dealing with a hamstring and hand injury.
Next man up for the Buffalo Bills
McDermott and the front office have long stressed resilience when injuries inevitably happen. In the Week 2 victory over the Jets, some players stepped up in Oliver's absence, and it was easy sailing for the defense.
Look for a player like Dorian Williams or Joe Andreessen to get some increased reps if Milano were to miss time. For now, all eyes are going to be on One Bills Drive as they navigate through the injuries ahead of their divisional showdown against the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football.
Boston Bruins fast-rising prospect invited to NHLPA Showcase
The Boston Bruins are not known to have a deep and talented prospect pool. It has ranked near the bottom of the NHL recently, but after a very good 2025 Entry Draft in Los Angeles back in June, there is some hope for the pool.
Defensively, the prospect pool is thin, very thin. If there are a couple of injuries in Boston, then the options are going to be thin for first-year coach Marco Sturm to dip down into the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Providence Bruins to find a blueliner. However, one prospect on defense is becoming a riser in the Black and Gold's prospect pool, and he was named to participate in an event next week.
Boston Bruins prospect Frederic Brunet picked for 2025 NHLPA Showcase
One young defenseman rising within the Bruins' prospect pool is Frederic Brunet. He was one of a handful of prospects around the league picked to participate in the 2025 NHLPA Rookie Showcase, which takes place on September 3 in Virginia.
Last year in Providence, he played in 69 games with five goals and 25 points, which was an increase from his two goals and 12 assists in 48 games played in 2023-24. He was called up at the end of the regular season to play against the New Jersey Devils in a 5-4 overtime loss to close what was a dismal season for Boston.
Brunet is a prospect that is rising within the Bruins' prospect pool and one that fans should keep an eye on. He would likely be the first defenseman called up by Sturm should one be needed during the upcoming season, and he plays a heavy game. The 22-year-old, who is a native of Quebec, was drafted in the fifth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, and at 6-foot-3 and 196 pounds, he's not afraid to use his body to play in all three zones.
