ORCHARD PARK, NY. (WKBW) — Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins painted the picture on Thursday, "58 was out there running around with his Christmas reds on so it was a good sight."
Bills linebacker Matt Milano returned to practice for the first time that reporters have been able to observe since August when he suffered a bicep injury that has sidelined him since.
"Matt's worked extremely hard to get out to there. So to have him out there and running around with us has been fun," said fellow linebacker Terrel Bernard. "It's good to just have his presence out there; he's a leader on this team. He's a guy who knows this defense and plays at an elite level."
Now before we get too far ahead of ourselves, Milano will not play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, when you're the caliber of player Milano is, not only to his team but around the league, you don't have to wait for your first game back to make your presence known.
"The impact is immediate, the presence is immediate, his voice and aura is immediate," Dawkins adds. "Every play the defensive tackles are probably happier than everyone else because linebackers help the tackles play in better ways. I'm happy that Milano is back and he's out there running around and smiling."
