In a recent game against the Dolphins, Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard sustained a right pectoral strain. Fortunately, it is not a tear, and reports indicate he is expected to miss about a month. The decision on whether to place him on injured reserve will be telling regarding the team's expectations for his recovery timeline.

• Terrel Bernard's injury is a strain, not a tear, which is a positive sign for recovery.
• The Bills will need to decide on IR placement ahead of their Week 3 game against Jacksonville.
