Buffalo Bills second-year linebacker Terrel Bernard suffered a right foot/ankle injury during a playoff game against the Steelers and was carted off the field. Bernard, who has had a breakout season and was a key player in the game with a fumble recovery earlier, was quickly ruled out after being taken for X-rays. His injury is a significant loss for the Bills, as he is considered one of the top players on the team. The Bills' defense is now further depleted, with A.J. Klein, Dorian Williams, and Tyler Matakevich remaining at the linebacker position. The team has already lost two other defensive starters, cornerback Christian Benford and Bernard, and slot cornerback Taron Johnson is being evaluated for a head injury.
Bills slot CB Taron Johnson is being evaluated for a head injury. Buffalo already lost 2 other defensive starters in CB Christian Benford and LB Terrel Bernard earlier in this game.

Bills LB Terrel Bernard was carted off the field with a right foot/ankle injury. Several teammates went to him to show him love as he was loaded up on the cart. Bernard is having an excellent season and yet another key Buffalo player lost to injury.
Man, Terrel Bernard getting taken off on the cart for Buffalo, that sucks. The second-year linebacker from Baylor had been great all year, including a fumble recovery earlier today.
Cart is out for Terrel Bernard. Surely one of top 5 Bills right now you would not want to see injured. Bills are down to A.J. Klein, Dorian Williams and Tyler Matakevich at LB.
Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard is down on the field and he appears to be in a lot of pain.
