Ed Oliver Out Indefinitely After Torn Biceps

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver suffered a torn left biceps late in the second quarter of Sunday's game and is expected to undergo surgery, ruling him out indefinitely. Oliver had been productive in limited action across three games (about 12 combined tackles and 3 sacks, with multiple tackles for loss and a forced fumble) before the injury. Reports say there is at least a chance he could return late in the season or for the playoffs, but he will be sidelined while he recovers. His loss further thins an interior defensive line already affected by DaQuan Jones' absence and injuries to rookie T.J. Sanders and DeWayne Carter, prompting Buffalo to lean on veterans Larry Ogunjobi and Jordan Phillips. Buffalo (5-2) still ranks among the league's top-10 scoring defenses, but offensive inconsistencies and mounting injuries could force short-term roster moves or deadline trades.
