Bills Rule Out Ed Oliver Against the Jets because of an Ankle Injury He Suffered at Practice
Ed Oliver's ankle injury sidelines him for Week 2, forcing rookie Kenneth Grant and others to increase their defensive roles, impacting the Bills' strategy against the Jets, team officials said.
- Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver will miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets in New Jersey due to an ankle injury.
- Oliver suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday during practice and was subsequently listed on the injury report on Thursday.
- He did not practice Thursday, was seen wearing a walking boot, and used a medical scooter in the locker room as the team prepared for the Jets game.
- In the Week 1 matchup against Baltimore, Oliver delivered an impressive defensive performance, making six solo tackles, disrupting plays behind the line of scrimmage three times, recording a sack, and forcing a crucial fumble, which earned him commendation from coach Sean McDermott.
- Rookie defensive tackle Kenneth Grant and others will need to cover for Oliver's absence, adding to the challenge before the AFC East divisional opener.
