Ed Oliver Fantasy Stats

The Buffalo Bills announced that defensive tackle Ed Oliver (hip) has been ruled out for the Thursday Night Football game in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions after he was injured during warm-ups. The 28-year-old former first-rounder will have to sit out the second game of the year, and it remains to be seen if he will be ready to return for the Bills' Week 3 contest on Sunday, Sept. 27, against the Los Angeles Chargers. With Oliver sidelined on Thursday against a strong Lions offense, Landon Jackson will most likely see most of the snaps on the interior of Buffalo's D-line as a result. In the season-opening win over the Houston Texans on Sunday, Oliver had five tackles (two solo) and a fumble recovery in a back-and-forth game that ended up in the Bills' favor by a score of 36-31.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver (knee) is questionable to return in Saturday's AFC Divisional Round game against the Denver Broncos. Oliver was activated from the Injured Reserve ahead of Saturday's game after being out since Week 8 with a torn bicep. The 28-year-old did not record a stat before exiting Saturday's game with a knee injury. The Bills' run defense takes a little bit of a hit with Oliver sidelined as they try hold a one-point lead against Denver in the fourth quarter.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps, knee) won't be 100% for the Divisional Round game on Saturday against the Denver Broncos and will play limited reps, but the Bills think "a rusty Ed is better than most," according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Oliver could also be wearing a brace on his surgically repaired knee. The 28-year-old interior defensive lineman hasn't played since tearing his biceps muscle back in Week 8, and he also had cleanup surgery on his knee in December. Oliver will be more of a rotational interior D-lineman on Saturday in Denver, but the Bills are hoping his return is a much-needed boost for a banged-up defense that will be without cornerback Maxwell Hairston and safety Jordan Poyer for the Divisional Round. In only three games in 2025 before his injury, Oliver had 12 tackles, three sacks, and seven tackles for loss.

The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that they activated defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps, knee) from Injured Reserve. Oliver is still listed as questionable for the Divisional Round game against the Denver Broncos on Saturday, but he's expected to play for the first time since Week 8. The 28-year-old interior defensive lineman suffered a torn biceps back in October and also had surgery on his knee in December. If Oliver is active, as expected, he will probably be on some sort of snap count. However, his presence on the defensive line will be a boost for a banged-up Bills defense. In three games played earlier this season before his biceps injury, Oliver had 12 tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble. His presence will make it a little more difficult for the Broncos to run the football on Saturday.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps, knee) was limited in practice all week and will be listed as questionable for Saturday's Divisional Round game versus the hosting Denver Broncos, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. The Bills will be without two starters on defense in cornerback Maxwell Hairston (ankle) and safety Jordan Poyer (hamstring), so the Bills would certainly welcome Oliver back if he is ready. The 28-year-old interior defensive lineman has been on Injured Reserve for most of the year due to biceps and knee injuries. In just three games before being shut down, Oliver was very effective, recording 12 total tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble for the Bills. If the Bills officially activate Oliver off IR on Friday, he'll almost certainly be active on Saturday.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that the team is opening the 21-day practice window for defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps, knee) this week, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. In addition to a torn biceps, Oliver is also recovering from meniscus surgery on his knee. The 28-year-old interior defensive lineman will be eligible to come off Injured Reserve to play in the AFC Divisional Round this Saturday against the Denver Broncos. Whether Oliver is actually active this weekend will depend on how he looks in practice this week. Getting Oliver back would be a big boost for the Bills' defense against a Broncos offense that hasn't been great at running the football since the midseason injury to RB J.K. Dobbins (foot). In just three games played in 2025, Oliver had 12 tackles (10 solo), three sacks, seven tackles for loss, five QB hits, and a forced fumble.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday that there are no plans to open the practice window for any players on Injured Reserve this week, which includes defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps, knee), according to The Buffalo News' Jay Skurski. It means that Oliver won't be eligible to be activated to play in the Wild-Card playoff contest versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 28-year-old defensive lineman was placed on IR back in late October with a torn biceps that he suffered in Week 8. Additionally, Oliver had surgery to fix the meniscus in his knee in late December. Even if the Bills make it past this weekend and go on a long run in the postseason, Oliver won't be guaranteed to be ready to return. Oliver only played in three regular-season games in 2025, recording 12 tackles (10 solo), three sacks, seven tackles for loss, and five QB hits.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps) could return by the first week of the playoffs, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Oliver tore his biceps against the Carolina Panthers last week and will undergo surgery, shutting him down for the remainder of the regular season but leaving the door open for him to play in the first or second round of the playoffs. In the interim, Buffalo is looking for defensive line help in the trade market to fill Oliver's void. Rapoport notes that there aren't many big defensive line names available this fall, but the Bills are exploring their options nonetheless. The 2025 NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 4 p.m.

The Buffalo Bills announced on Tuesday that they placed defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps) on Injured Reserve. In corresponding moves, the Bills signed defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and safety Jordan Poyer from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster. Oliver will require surgery for a torn biceps that he suffered in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers, although head coach Sean McDermott said there's a chance that the 27-year-old interior defensive lineman will be able to return to the team if the Bills make the postseason. The Bills' defense has already been susceptible to the run, and the loss of Oliver isn't going to make things any easier moving forward. With Oliver on IR, the Bills will look for more contributions from Phillips, Larry Ogunjobi, and DaQuan Jones, among others. Oliver will end his 2025 regular season with 12 tackles (10 solo) and three sacks in just three games played.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver (biceps) suffered a torn biceps muscle in the Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and will undergo surgery, according to Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News. According to head coach Sean McDermott, Oliver is out indefinitely. It's unclear exactly when the 27-year-old interior defensive lineman will be able to return, but he probably will not play again this season unless the Bills advance to the playoffs. It's a notable loss for the Bills' defensive line moving forward, and the team will now look for more contributions from the likes of DaQuan Jones, Larry Ogunjobi, and Deone Walker. Oliver has only played in three games for the Bills this year and has three sacks, 12 tackles (10 solo), seven tackles for loss, five QB hits, and one forced fumble.
