Banged-up Bills rule out safety Hamlin, DT Sanders, with both to be placed on IR
Damar Hamlin and T.J. Sanders are placed on injured reserve due to pectoral and knee injuries, with Sanders expected to have surgery and a chance to return this season.
- On Saturday, Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott ruled out three players for Monday's game, announcing that safety Damar Hamlin and rookie defensive tackle T.J. Sanders will be placed on injured reserve.
- Hamlin sustained a pectoral injury in practice this week, Sanders has been rehabbing a knee injury and the team decided to proceed with surgery, and Milano aggravated his pectoral in the New England game.
- Two roster spots could open as suspended defensive linemen Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi near the end of six-game suspensions, while Ed Oliver's return would soften the loss at defensive tackle.
- Dorian Williams is set to return and either he or Shaq Thompson will start, while Dalton Kincaid and Curtis Samuel remain game-time decisions and kickoff duties may shift to Ty Johnson and Ray Davis.
- McDermott suggested Hamlin's absence could be lengthy, Sanders has a better shot to return this year, and both will miss at least the next month as the Bills enter their bye week.
