Terrel Bernard Fantasy Stats

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday that linebacker Terrel Bernard (calf) will not play in the Week 18 regular-season finale this Sunday versus the division-rival New York Jets due to the calf injury that he suffered in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. The 26-year-old linebacker will sit out the final game of the regular season, but the Bills will hope he can make enough progress to play in the wild-card round of the playoffs against a yet-to-be-determined opponent. Even though Bernard being ruled out will be a downgrade for Buffalo's defense in Week 18, their defense/special teams unit will still be a strong play in lineups where titles are still on the line against the lowly Jets. With Bernard out, Joe Andreessen and Dorian Williams will both see more playing time.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) is officially inactive this Sunday for a divisional matchup against the hosting New England Patriots. Bernard was listed as questionable for this weekend, but he will end up missing a third straight game due to his elbow injury. The 26-year-old's next chance to return will come in Week 16 on the road in Cleveland versus the Browns. Against the 11-2 Patriots, the Bills' defense/special teams unit is one to fade in fantasy football lineups in Week 15. With Bernard on the sidelines again on Sunday, Shaq Thompson will draw another start for the Bills at linebacker. In terms of fantasy points per game in IDP formats, Bernard ranks as the LB46 with 56 tackles (40 solo), seven tackles for loss, one interception, three pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries in 10 starts.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott notes that edge rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring, wrist) and linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) will not be active for Sunday's home clash with the Cincinnati Bengals. Bernard missed the team's Week 13 win over Pittsburgh with an elbow injury and had yet to participate in practice since sustaining it in the game prior. On the other hand, Bosa had been listed on the injury report with a wrist issue for a while, but he had not missed time because of it. The hamstring designation is new, however, and it's held him out of practice twice now as they gear up for a pivotal matchup with Cincinnati. Javon Solomon figures to see a decent amount of work in place of Bosa this weekend, while Shaq Thompson and Matt Milano should fill in for the injured Bernard.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that it's a possibility that both linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) and right tackle Spencer Brown (shoulder) could go on injured reserve, but they aren't sure just yet, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. McDermott added that it doesn't look great for either player to participate in practice in the upcoming week. Both players would be major losses to a Bills team that has already dropped two of their last three games and four of their last seven. The 26-year-old Bernard missed four games last season due to injury, but has started every game otherwise since becoming a full-time starter in 2022. Brown, on the other hand, has started 66 of 69 career games since entering the league in 2021 and was putting together another strong season, grading as PFF's 25th-ranked tackle. Both Bernard's and Brown's statuses will be updated in the coming days.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that both linebackers Matt Milano (pectoral) and Terrel Bernard (ankle) are day-to-day with their injuries, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Milano has missed three of the team's last four games with his pec injury, while Bernard injured his ankle in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The good news is that Buffalo is on their bye in Week 8, so their defense may have both Milano and Bernard available for their next contest in Week 9 versus the Carolina Panthers. Shaq Thompson has been filling in for Milano after he aggravated his chest injury in Week 5. Buffalo's defense definitely was overmatched against a star-studded Falcons offense on Monday night, but it sounds like they could be closer to full strength on that side of the ball following their bye in Week 7.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle injury. Bernard recorded two solo tackles before being forced to exit the game. The Bills entered the game without starting linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral), so Bernard's absence leaves them short multiple starters at the position. If Bernard is unable to return in Week 6, Joe Andreessen could finish the game at linebacker for Buffalo.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard has signed a long-term extension with the organization. The two sides have agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract extension. The former third-round pick is well deserving of a new deal after back-to-back 100-plus tackle seasons. The Bills have now locked up their star linebacker through the 2029 campaign. Last season, Bernard registered 104 tackles, one sack, and two interceptions across 13 games with the Bills. The 25-year-old missed time due to injury, but still managed over 100 tackles, which is impressive. This is another smart move by Buffalo who recently extended wide receiver Khalil Shakir to a four-year deal as well.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on WGR550 radio that linebacker Terrel Bernard (quadriceps) will not play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots, but he "feels good" about his availability for next week's wild-card playoff game. Bernard suffered a quad injury in the Week 17 blowout win over the division-rival New York Jets and will now rest up so that he can be available for the Bills defense to kick off the postseason. The 25-year-old linebacker enters Week 18 action as the No. 34 linebacker in IDP fantasy formats with 104 tackles (55 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss, two interceptions, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery in his 13 starts this year. Getting him back for the playoffs will be important for a Bills defense that hasn't been as dominant as in year's past.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (ankle) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans and was subsequently ruled out. He finished Week 7 with eight tackles, bringing his season total to 32. He also registered two tackles for loss and one fumble recovery. Baylon Spector entered the game in Bernard's place and will presumably earn more opportunities if the 25-year-old misses additional time.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (pectoral) is officially active for the Week 5 contest against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Bernard was listed as questionable to play with a pectoral injury, but he will be active as the Bills look to bounce back from a blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. Cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm) and safety Taylor Rapp (concussion) have been ruled out, so an already thin Bills defense will have some question marks in their secondary against a strong Texans offense. Bernard will be returning to the field for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury in Week 2 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins. The 25-year-old has 11 combined tackles in his two games played and is back on the radar in IDP fantasy leagues now that he's back in action for Buffalo. The Bills' defense/special teams unit should be faded on the road in Week 5 against Houston.
