# Bills' Terrel Bernard: Downgraded to out ## Bills Linebacker Terrel Bernard Ruled Out for Week 7 Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard has been downgraded to out for Week 7's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team announced Friday. Bernard was listed as questionable earlier in the week with an ankle injury, but he did not practice on Thursday or Friday. Bernard has started all six games for the Bills this season, recording 29 tackles, one sack, and one interception. He is a key part of Buffalo's defense, and his absence will be a significant blow. ## Matt Milano Expected to Start in Bernard's Place With Bernard out, Matt Milano is expected to start in his place. Milano has started 15 games for the Bills over the past two seasons, and he has recorded 104 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and four interceptions during that time. ## Bills Defense Still Strong Despite Bernard's Absence Despite Bernard's absence, the Bills' defense is still expected to be strong against the Chiefs. Buffalo has allowed the fewest points per game in the NFL this season, and they have also recorded the most sacks. The Chiefs' offense is one of the most explosive in the NFL, but the Bills' defense will be a tough test. Buffalo will need to generate pressure on quarterback Patrick Mahomes and force him into mistakes. If they can do that, they will have a good chance of winning the game.
