We’ve been waiting all day for Sunday Night Football and it’s very close. The Buffalo Bills take on the San Francisco 49ers in what could be a rough game weather-wise. The Bills have been battling injuries this entire season, yet they find themselves at 9-2, potentially clinching the AFC East tonight with a win, and in the race for the top seed in the the AFC.
On the other sideline, the 49ers have been affected with injuries as well but are in worse shape. Coming into this game at 5-6, they still have a great chance at making a run at the NFC West but they are at a massive disadvantage for tonight, especially Brock Purdy.
The Bills received great news yesterday that Pro Bowl linebacker Matt Milano was activated off of the IR and is expected to make his season debut. Milano hasn’t played since Week 5 of last season when he suffered a lower-leg injury in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The only players were ruled out prior to the final inactives list were Dalton Kincaid, DeWayne Carter and and Tylan Grable. With an injury-filled season the Bills have had to deal with, only seeing three autmatic inactives is a blessing.
Right tackle Spencer Brown is coming back from an ankle injury he sustained in Week 10 and was forced to miss Week 11 against the Chiefs. Coming into this game, the only true game-time decision was rookie wideout Keon Coleman, who suffered a wrist injury in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. Coleman was limited all week, but he didn’t miss practice so that was a good sign. However, Coleman is set to miss tonight's game, per Jordan Schultz. The Bills are going to let Coleman rest for another week and will miss his third consecutive game.

The 49ers are banged up badly going into a tough game. Not having your star pass-rusher and your entire left side of the offensive line makes life harder for Kyle Shanahan.
