Ed Oliver is OUT for the Buffalo Bills’ Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions after injuring his hip during pregame warmups. With T.J. Sanders also inactive, Buffalo’s defensive line faces an unexpected challenge in the first regular-season game at New Highmark Stadium. On today’s Bills HIT, Christian Rauh breaks down the official inactive list and what Oliver’s absence means for defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. Oliver played 65 defensive snaps against the Houston Texans in Week 1, the most of any Bills defensive lineman. Now Deone Walker, DeWayne Carter and Greg Gaines may need to take on significantly larger roles. Could Buffalo also adjust how it uses Landon Jackson? We also cover the rest of the inactive list. Ty Johnson and rookie Skyler Bell are out again, while practice squad elevations Frank Gore Jr. and Greg Dortch are available. Dortch appears likely to continue handling punt returns after a strong Week 1 showing. Christian is sticking with his 38–28 Bills win prediction, but Oliver’s late injury adds a major question to a matchup that could already put plenty of pressure on Buffalo’s defense.
