Bills' Terrel Bernard: Absent again
Bernard (elbow) was not seen practicing Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Bernard suffered an elbow injury during the Bills' Week 12 loss to the Texans that put him in a sling. The linebacker was not sent to the injured reserve, but he has been unable to practice since. Bernard's return timeline therefore remains uncertain, but he will likely return to the field before his absence eclipses the four-week mark that injured reserve would necessitate.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Missing Wednesday's practice
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Bernard (elbow) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Bernard has not returned to practice since sustaining an elbow injury in the Bills' Week 12 loss to the Texans. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance at suiting up for the Week 14 matchup against the Bengals. If the 26-year-old is sidelined for the second consecutive game Sunday, Shaq Thompson will likely operate as Buffalo's top middle linebacker.

Bernard (elbow) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Bernard was a candidate to be placed on injured reserve after sustaining an elbow injury in the Bills' Week 12 loss to the Texans, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. It's likely a longshot for Bernard to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, suggesting Shaq Thompson could have an expanded role in the team's linebacker corps.

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.

Bernard (ankle) returned to full practice participation Thursday.
Bernard upgraded to full participation Thursday after being a limited participant Wednesday due to a persisting ankle injury.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Dealing with ankle injury
Bernard (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Bernard played 98 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's win over the Chiefs in Week 9, recording six tackles (four solo). The veteran linebacker has now tallied six or more stops in four of his last five appearances, giving him a solid fantasy floor in IDP formats.

Bernard (ankle) will practice in full Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Bernard was active for the Bills' Week 8 win over the Panthers but didn't play a snap due to an ankle injury sustained the game prior.

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.
