Bills injuries 2026: In-game updates vs. Lions

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver was unexpectedly sidelined for Thursday Night Football against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. The 28-year-old sustained an unexpected hip injury during pregame warmups, forcing team personnel to declare him completely inactive prior to kickoff at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.

Oliver's abrupt absence left the Bills without their starting interior lineman just before facing Detroit. On the opposing sideline, the Lions confirmed that D.J. Reed was cleared to suit up and participate in the contest despite their own roster adjustments.
