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.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Returns to practice
The Bills designated Oliver (biceps/knee) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
Oliver now kicks off a 21-day window where he can be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster, making him eligible to return to action as early as Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver, if healthy. The veteran defensive tackle was placed on IR in late October due to a torn biceps, and he's also recovering from meniscus surgery on his knee.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Practice window set to open
Oliver (biceps/knee) is expected to resume practicing with the Bills this week, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Once the Bills officially designate Oliver for return from injured reserve, the Bills will have 21 days to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. Provided that Oliver can practice in at least a limited capacity this week, he may have a chance at being activated ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. The defensive tackle was initially placed on IR on Oct. 28 due to a torn biceps, and Oliver is also recovering from meniscus surgery on his knee. He finished the regular season with 12 tackles, 3.0 sacks and one forced fumble over three appearances.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Could practice next week
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that "it's not out of the question" for Oliver (biceps/knee) to resume practicing next week, should Buffalo defeat Jacksonville in Sunday's wild-card matchup to advance in the AFC playoffs, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
McDermott stressed that a number of boxes still have to be checked before Oliver returns to action, but it's possible the starting defensive tackle could return as a contributor if the Bills manage to go advance at least as far as the AFC divisional round. Oliver has been on IR since late October due to a biceps injury, and he also underwent a procedure to address a meniscus injury in his knee in late December.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Trending up but no return date
Oliver (biceps/knee) is trending in the right direction, but there is not a set date for his activation from injured reserve, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Coach Sean McDermott followed up Monday's declaration that Oliver would not be available for the wild-card round with a Wednesday status update. The defensive tackle continues to recover from his initial biceps issue suffered in late October, as well as the meniscus cleanup he had done in late December. If Oliver can return to practice next week, he may be available for a potential AFC divisional round matchup.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Won't return for wild-card round
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that there are no plans for Oliver (biceps/knee) to be designated to return from injured reserve this week, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Oliver landed on injured reserve in late October due to a torn biceps that he sustained against the Panthers in Week 8. There was some optimism that the seventh-year defensive tackle could return for the playoffs. However, that was before Oliver underwent surgery in late December to repair the meniscus in his knee, and he appears to be a long shot to return for the Bills' postseason run, even if the team were to make it to the Super Bowl in February. The Bills will continue to rely on Deone Walker, Greg Rousseau, DaQuan Jones (calf) and Joey Bosa (hamstring) to man the defensive front heading into Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Undergoes knee procedure
Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Oliver (biceps) underwent surgery Monday to have his meniscus in his knee repaired, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
The injury occurred while Oliver was rehabbing his torn biceps. It's unclear at this point if Oliver has a chance to play again this season during the playoffs. Oliver has appeared in just three games this season due to various injuries. Deone Walker, Larry Ogunjobi, DaQuan Jones (calf) and Jordan Phillips (ankle) will continue to see heavy snaps at defensive tackle for Buffalo.
