Edmunds, the team's playmaking middle linebacker, suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter.

While head coach Sean McDermott indicated earlier this week they weren't "long-term injuries," Milano did not practice at all this week. Edmunds was limited in practice and wore the red "non-contact" jersey.

The Buffalo Bills take on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
