BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano was ruled out for the remainder of the game Sunday due to a knee injury he suffered in the first quarter.
According to 7 Sports Director Matt Bové, Milano was helped off the field and went straight to the blue injury tent. The broadcast crew then said the Milano was carted off. Dorian Williams replaced Milano in the game.
After the game, Bills head coach Sean McDermott addressed Milano's injury and said "I know it's not looking good right now, but I don't know any details beyond that at this point."
According to a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Milano suffered a fractured leg and is feared to have suffered a season-ending knee injury. "They are checking on the ACL. MRI coming, but missing the rest of the season is likely," Rapoport said in a tweet.

MRI coming, but missing the rest of the season is likely. One of the NFL’s best LBs. pic.twitter.com/dZsJM5fSMI
