Bills' Terrel Bernard: Candidate for injured reserve
Head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Bernard (elbow) is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Bernard suffered an elbow injury during the Bills' 23-19 loss to the Texans on Thursday, and the issue is severe enough for him to be considered for a stint on IR. He'll continue to undergo further tests to evaluate the extent of his injury, but he's facing a significant absence, which opens the door for Joe Andreessen or Shaq Thompson to step into a starting role at linebacker alongside Matt Milano and Dorian Williams.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Good to go against Carolina
Bernard (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Bernard picked up an ankle injury during the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Falcons, which limited his practice participation during Week 8 prep. He's gone through pregame warmups without issue, and the 2022 third-rounder has been cleared to play in Sunday's road contest. Bernard's availability is crucial for a Bills linebacker corps that will be without Matt Milano (pectoral) for the fourth time in five games.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Questionable for Week 8
Bernard (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Bernard was reportedly viewed as day-to-day after Buffalo's Week 6 loss to the Falcons, so a Week 7 bye likely provided enough time for the starting middle linebacker to recover. If Bernard is unable to play Sunday, Joe Andreessen would be asked to step into a starting role.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Begins week as limited
Bernard (ankle) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Bernard was considered "day-to-day" after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 6 loss to the Falcons, so it's no surprise he was limited at Wednesday's practice. The fourth-year pro from Baylor has appeared in all six of Buffalo's games this season, recording 30 total tackles and one interception. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in the Week 8 matchup against the Panthers.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Day-to-day with ankle injury
Head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Bernard is considered "day-to-day" due to an ankle injury he sustained during the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Bernard played 41 snaps (38 on defense, three on special teams) and tallied four tackles (two solo) prior to his injury. The Bills are on a bye for Week 7, so it's possible that the fourth-year linebacker is available for the Bills' Week 8 road clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. With Shaq Thompson filling in for the injured Matt Milano (pectoral), Joe Andreessen would be a candidate to see more snaps on defense if Bernard were to be sidelined.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Questionable to return Monday
Bernard (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Falcons, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Bernard suffered an ankle injury in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. He recorded four tackles (two solo) before exiting the contest, and in his absence, Joe Andreessen will stand to see an increase in workload at middle linebacker versus Atlanta.
