Safety Taylor Rapp will miss the AFC title game, while Matt Milano, Taron Johnson look to be set to go. Christian Benford is still in concussion protocol.

Bills cornerback Christian Benford cleared the concussion protocol and was active for Sunday's AFC championship game where he was expected to play a big role in helping to slow Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs' passing game.

Fortunately, linebacker Terrel Bernard has calmed any concern. While partner-in-crime Matt Milano missed the last few plays of the divisional round win due to what was revealed as "hamstring soreness," Bernard reported that his teammate "looked good" during Thursday's practice in Orchard Park.

Fortunately, the Bills got a key update on linebacker Matt Milano, whose hamstring flared up during the 27-25 Divisional Round win over the Baltimore Ravens. The update came via his co-star, linebacker Terrel Bernard.

ORCHARD PARK - A season-long trend, one in which the Buffalo Bills had been given a reprieve from in the last few weeks, has returned at quite an inopportune time: Injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

In their Week 4 loss to the Ravens, the Bills defense was missing three key players. All are back for the rematch Sunday.

The preparations are underway for the Buffalo Bills ahead of the AFC championship game. The Bills (13-4) have had their eye on Super Bowl 59 all year… and realistically, right next to that in the back of the team’s mind has been a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) in the postseason. That’s on deck.

The hamstring issue comes at a horrible time for the Bills and Milano, who has played excellent football in the past two playoff games. He made several important plays against the Ravens, including a pass breakup on Lamar Jackson’s two-point conversion attempt in the third quarter of Buffalo’s 27-25 victory.

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off once again for the NFL’s biggest prize in Super Bowl LIX in two weeks in New Orleans.The big game is set for a 6:30 p.m. ET kick off on Feb.
