Ed Oliver Likely To Miss Time After Biceps Injury

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver left Sunday's game at Carolina with a biceps injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He had been impactful early, registering a sack and multiple tackles for loss after recently returning from a four-game absence with an ankle injury. Initial reports say Oliver will undergo further testing and is expected to miss additional time, with some outlets noting the possibility of a significant or torn biceps. The injury compounds an already thin interior defensive line — DaQuan Jones was inactive and rookie T.J. Sanders and DeWayne Carter are on IR, even as Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht had just returned from suspension. Buffalo plans to rely on Deone Walker, Jordan Phillips and Ogunjobi while awaiting a full diagnosis, a development that could affect upcoming matchups.
