Bills' Greg Rousseau: Continues dominant streak
Rousseau logged three solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Thursday night's 41-31 win over the Lions.
Rousseau helped the Bills open the new Highmark Stadium in style, sacking Jared Goff twice and hitting him four times en route to the team's first regular-season win in the building. Rousseau's 4.0 sacks through two games in defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard's 3-4 defense already match half of the veteran linebacker's top single-season sack tally (8.0 in 2022 and 2024).

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Dominant in season opener
Rousseau logged four tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Buffalo's win over the Texans on Sunday.
Rousseau was dominant in the season opener, racking up two of the Bills' three sacks of C.J. Stroud. His four solo tackles were also tied for the third most on the team. The 2021 first-round pick will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing during the Week 2 matchup versus Detroit on Thursday.

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Stays productive in 2025
Rousseau recorded 46 total tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble over 16 regular-season contests in 2025.
The 2021 first-round pick from Miami has emerged as Buffalo's best pass rusher, leading the team in sacks each of the past two seasons. Since entering the league, Rousseau has recorded 7.0-or-more sacks in three of his five campaigns, proving to be one of the league's most consistent pass rushers. Additionally, he wreaked havoc during Buffalo's two playoff games, recording eight total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed. Under contract through the 2029 season, Rousseau is expected to remain the Bills' top edge rusher in 2026.

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Ready to rock
Rousseau (back) has no injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos.
The 2021 first-round pick from Miami practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, but it now appears he's moved past his back injury in time to play in the divisional round. Rosseau is coming off an impressive performance in the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars, recording six total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed over 44 defensive snaps. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start opposite Joey Bosa during Saturday's playoff contest.

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Leads Buffalo with 7.0 sacks
Rousseau finished the 2025-26 regular season with 46 tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, along with two defensed passes, a forced fumble and a blocked kick over 16 games.
Rousseau continued to be a steady presence along the Bills' defensive line, pacing the team with 7.0 sacks -- a mark he's reached in three of his past four campaigns. He didn't play in Week 18 as Buffalo elected to rest multiple starters, but Rousseau should be primed for the team's wild-card matchup against Jacksonville this Sunday after staying mostly healthy throughout the regular season.

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Won't play vs. NYJ
Rousseau (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
The Bills will rest Rousseau and other key defenders for Sunday's regular-season finale, so the fifth-year pro will end the 2025 campaign with 46 tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 16 games. With Rousseau, Joey Bosa (hamstring) and DaQuan Jones (calf) all inactive, more snaps on the Bills' defensive line will be available for the likes of Javon Solomon, Jordan Phillips, Larry Ogunjobi, A.J. Epenesa and Matthew Judon.

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Dealing with knee injury
Rousseau was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Rosseau played 35 of 51 defensive snaps during the Bills' Week 1 win over the Ravens and finished with three solo tackles and a pass defense. He may have picked up a knee injury during the victory, but he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's AFC East clash against the Jets.

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Can't rush passer much Sunday
Rousseau recorded three tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 41-40 win versus the Ravens.
Lamar Jackson only attempted 19 passes on a day where Baltimore averaged 8.2 yards per rush attempt as a team, so Rousseau didn't get many opportunities to pin his ears back in Week 1. The Bills' matchup against the Jets in Week 2 doesn't necessarily lend itself to many chances to rush the quarterback either, so Rousseau might have to try to make the most of every shot he gets.
