Bernard is so good but I do worry about his size at LB. He seems to get dinged up a lot, which isnt uncommon for the position he plays. Still, his size worries me. All I want for Christmas is Milano and Bernard playing healthy together.
Wasn't he excused for personal reasons yesterday ? Just hope that was not a outside consult for the injury.Bernard is so good but I do worry about his size at LB.

Bernard was out yesterday (and probably today) due to a personal (family) reason according to the Bills radio show.
It was listed as ankle/personal on the injury report yesterday. So, I would not assume it is just a personal issue.Bernard was out yesterday (and probably today) due to a personal (family) reason according to the Bills radio show.
They have to list the injury if it would affect him at all (which is why Allen continues to be listed) - the reason he was not in attendance at all, at least yesterday, was because of the personal issue.It was listed as ankle/personal on the injury report yesterday.

We cannot assume either way with 100% certainty. However, I think it is reasonable to ponder the likelihood that he was given two days off in a row if he were healthy and expected to start on Sunday.They have to list the injury if it would affect him at all (which is why Allen continues to be listed) - the reason he was not in attendance at all, at least yesterday, was because of the personal issue.
I don't think we can assume that Bernard would have been a non-participant both days unless he was back in town and didn't practice today. EDIT: It's been reported as an excused absence for a personal reason, so same situation. I don't think we can say one way or another whether he would have practiced absent the personal/family issue. All we know is he's "day to day" based on his ankle injury per coach McD.
From Joe Marino’s Subtext a minute ago:
What's up, Bills Mafia!? Sean McDermott shared on WGR that LB Terrel Bernard, DT Dewayne Carter & WR Curtis Samuel are all OUT on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. All other players will practice today in some capacity.
Bernard is a huge loss. Fortunately, Baylon Spector has gained some experience with the time Bernard has missed this year. Will need him to play well on Sunday. Carter's absence means Zion Logue will be back in the mix. I have been underwhelmed by him so far. Might not be a bad idea to consider a practice squad elevation for Eli Ankou. I don't think Samuel is a big loss, given how things have gone. GO BILLS!
