  • The Detroit Lions entered the game severely shorthanded, missing seven players including starters Blake Miller and Christian Mahogany, both injured during their Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
  • Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver was ruled out after suffering a hip injury during pre-game workouts, a decision NFL Insider Ari Meirov confirmed on Twitter before the contest.
