At this point, it is unclear if Matt Milano will be returning from his hamstring injury for this game. If Milano doesn’t return, this week A.J. Klein would be his replacement but even if Milano does return, Klein will likely be on the field more than previously.

The Buffalo Bills primarily have only two linebackers on the field but knowing they are lining up against Derrick Henry, this would be a week they utilize more 4-3 formations. If this is the case, then Klein would join Tremaine Edmunds and Milano on the field.

Last year, Klein played a bigger role in this defense by replacing the injured Matt Milano. He once again stepped into the starting lineup last week against the Chiefs and played well with nine total tackles on 63% of the defensive snaps.

This week the Bills’ linebackers are going to be tested by Derrick Henry and A.J. Klein will be a big part of whether or not they have success against the Titans’ running back.
