Bills' Ed Oliver: Returning to action in Week 3
Oliver (hip) is available for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
Oliver didn't play in the Week 2 win over Detroit due to a hip injury. However, despite carrying a questionable tag for the Week 3 meeting with the Chargers, the veteran will be back on the field, likely resulting in less work for DeWayne Carter.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Questionable against Chargers
Oliver (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Oliver injured his hip during warmups ahead of the Week 2 win over the Lions. He didn't practice Wednesday. However, the veteran practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, so despite the questionable designation, it appears he at least has a shot to play. If Oliver can't suit up versus Los Angeles, DeWayne Carter should be in line for more work once again.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Limited at practice Thursday
Oliver (hip) was limited during Thursday's practice.
Oliver suffered a hip injury during warmups ahead of the 41-31 win over Detroit in Week 2. The veteran didn't practice Wednesday. However, since he was back in a limited capacity Thursday, it appears he's trending favorably toward returning for the Week 3 meeting with the Chargers. If Oliver ends up missing a second consecutive game, DeWayne Carter may continue to see more snaps.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Starts Week 3 with DNP
Oliver (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Oliver suffered a hip injury in pre-game warmups before the Bills' Week 2 Thursday Night Football win over the Lions. The defensive tackle is considered day-to-day with the injury, meaning a limited or full participation day in the Thursday and Friday practice sessions could be enough for the 28-year-old to earn the right to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Could return Week 3
Oliver (hip) is considered day-to-day and could be available for the Bills' Week 3 tilt against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 27, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Oliver did not play in the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions on Thursday after sustaining a hip injury during pregame warmups. The veteran defensive lineman's practice participation during the upcoming week will ultimately determine whether he'll be available for Week 3. DeWayne Carter was the defensive lineman that saw his defensive snap count jump the most from Week 1 to Week 2 in Oliver's absence.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Ruled out Thursday

Bills' Ed Oliver: Back in pads for OTAs
Oliver (knee) is participating in the Bills' OTAs, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Back in January, Oliver left Buffalo's loss at Denver in the divisional round early with a knee injury, but the issue does not seem to be bothering him any longer. He projects to start on the Bills' defensive line in 2026 as long as he's available, and he'll be looking to bounce back from a season that saw him appear in just four games as he dealt with biceps and meniscus injuries.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Injuries impact 2025 campaign
Oliver (knee) tallied 12 total tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across three regular-season appearances in 2025.
The 2019 first-round pick from Houston appeared in just three regular-season contests this season due to a biceps injury, but he was incredibly impactful when healthy. Oliver recorded 1.0 sacks in each of his three appearances, finishing the season tied for the fourth-most sacks on the Bills defense. He returned for the divisional-round loss to the Broncos but exited after just 16 defensive snaps due to a knee injury. If Oliver is healthy for the beginning of the 2026 season, he's expected to start as one of the NFL's best interior defensive linemen.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Exits with knee injury
Oliver exited Saturday's game versus the Broncos with a knee injury.
Oliver tore his biceps earlier this season and subsequently underwent surgery in December to repair the meniscus in his knee, and this was his first game action since Week 8. It's unclear if this knee injury is an aggravation or a new injury altogether, but the Bills' run defense takes a step back without his presence.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Good to go Saturday
Oliver (biceps/knee) is active for Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
Oliver is officially set to make his return to the field after having been activated off injured reserve Friday. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since tearing his biceps during the Week 8 win over the Panthers back in October and should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive tackles against Denver.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Activated from injured reserve
The Bills activated Oliver (biceps/knee) from injured reserve Friday.
Oliver suffered a torn biceps in October and then underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee last month. He's listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round tilt with the Broncos. Oliver's return would be a massive boost to a Buffalo defense that has been gashed by opposing running backs seemingly all season.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Questionable for Saturday
Oliver (biceps/knee) will practice in a limited fashion Thursday and is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Oliver was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday and has since logged three consecutive limited practices. If the 28-year-old gets added to the Bills' active roster in time to play Saturday, it would be a significant addition to Buffalo's defense, as he's recorded 12 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble in just three appearances this season. However, if Oliver cannot return for the divisional round, Deone Walker and DaQuan Jones would likely remain Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen.
