Bills' Terrel Bernard: Downgraded to out

Buffalo safety ruled out against Titans after suffering concussion

Buffalo Bills safety Terrel Bernard has been downgraded to out for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Bernard suffered a concussion in the Bills' season-opening win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and did not practice all week.

Bernard's absence is a big blow to the Bills' defense.

He is one of the team's best tacklers and is also a key contributor on special teams. The Bills will likely start Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer at safety against the Titans.

Bernard's injury is the latest in a string of concussions for the Bills.

Linebacker Matt Milano and cornerback Tre'Davious White both missed time last season due to concussions. The Bills are hoping that Bernard's concussion is not as serious and that he will be able to return to the field soon.

The Bills will face a tough test against the Titans on Monday Night Football.

The Titans are one of the most physical teams in the NFL and they have a talented offense led by quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry. The Bills will need to be at their best to beat the Titans and they will certainly miss Bernard's presence on defense.
