Matt Milano carted off field as Bills defense decimated by injuries against Jaguars

Buffalo Bills suffer multiple injuries in Week 5 game against Jacksonville Jaguars in London, including All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano.

Lorenzo Reyes has shared his three favorite picks for Week 5 of the NFL season. However, it's important to examine who he may have missed in his analysis.

In the game between the Buffalo Bills and the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, the Bills' defense faced a significant challenge. Unfortunately, their struggles were compounded by injuries to key players.

During the first quarter, three more players from the Bills' defense suffered injuries. The most devastating blow came when All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano was carted off the field with a knee injury. Milano's right leg was caught under a group of players as he attempted to tackle Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He was assisted off the field and taken to the locker room for X-rays. The sight of Milano with a cast on his leg was a disheartening one for Bills fans.

In addition to Milano, defensive tackle DaQuan Jones and defensive end Kingsley Jonathan also suffered injuries in the early stages of the game. Jonathan walked off the field gingerly after a play, while Jones left with a pectoral injury after the first possession of the game. These injuries further depleted the Bills' already struggling defense.

The Bills' injury woes extended beyond the defensive side of the ball. Offensive tackle Dion Dawkins also suffered an injury, going down to a knee after a play. Trainers attended to him, and he was able to walk to the sideline. The Bills announced that Dawkins had an ankle injury but would be able to return to the game.

It's important to note that the Bills were already dealing with several injuries prior to the game. Cornerback Tre'Davius White tore his ACL in the previous week's game and is out for the season. Edge rushers Greg Rousseau and Shaq Lawson were also sidelined with injuries, and defensive tackle Poona Ford was a healthy scratch.

As the game unfolded, it became clear that the Bills' defense was facing an uphill battle. The loss of key players like Milano, Jones, and Jonathan undoubtedly had an impact on their performance.

In conclusion, while Lorenzo Reyes shared his three favorite picks for Week 5, it's crucial to consider the players he may have overlooked due to injuries. The Bills' defense, in particular, suffered significant blows with the loss of Matt Milano, DaQuan Jones, and Kingsley Jonathan. These injuries further compounded the team's struggles and highlighted the importance of depth and resilience in the NFL.
