Young Star Earns Starting Role Amid Defensive Injuries — Fans Say He Just Saved His NFL Dream
Share this article:
Buffalo, NY – The Buffalo Bills’ defense is entering Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins without two of its most trusted anchors. Linebacker Matt Milano and defensive tackle Ed Oliver have both been ruled out, forcing Buffalo to turn to its younger depth pieces to carry the load.
That spotlight now shines directly on Dorian Williams. The third-year linebacker will slide into Milano’s role as the Bills aim for a 3–0 start. For Williams, this is more than just another assignment — it’s a chance to prove he belongs as a long-term building block for Buffalo’s defense.
Fans have been quick to rally around him. On social media, many called this his “second shot” at proving himself, while others declared, “He just saved his NFL dream.” Williams’ performance last season in relief of Milano, when he led the team in tackles, gives Bills Mafia hope that history can repeat itself.
Veteran linebacker Matt Milano expressed his disappointment but also voiced his faith in the younger players:
“It’s tough not being able to be out there with my brothers, and it hurts to watch from the sidelines. But this is football, and injuries happen. What excites me is that it gives opportunities to the young, talented guys — the future of the Bills. I know they’ll step up.”
Head coach Sean McDermott will count on Williams to line up next to Terrel Bernard and Shaq Thompson, forming a revamped linebacking corps. With Miami’s explosive offense on deck, the Bills are betting on youth, energy, and resilience to keep their defensive standard alive.
