Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver is dealing with an injury, based on reports and first-hand accounts out of the team’s locker room on Thursday. There were no clear signs of Oliver injuring himself during Buffalo’s Week 1 comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens, but now he’s been observed “in a walking boot on his left foot, using a scooter to get from point A to point B,” per Joe Buscaglia, Bills beat reporter with The Athletic.
Oliver did not practice with the team on Thursday, but the nature
of his injury remains unknown. Buscaglia shared that Oliver “did play a game of table tennis in the locker room, off of the scooter, before getting back on the scooter to leave the locker room.”
The Bills head to New Jersey this weekend to play the New York Jets in Week 2. It’s Buffalo’s first AFC East matchup of the 2025 season. The Jets are coming off an impressive victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers where new starting quarterback Justin Fields put together an impressive showing to outlast Aaron Rodgers and company.
We’ll have to wait for more information on the situation with Oliver, which will likely be revealed in the next press conference from head coach Sean McDermott.
