Ed Oliver will miss ‘Thursday Night Football’ after getting injured during warmups in Bills crusher

The Buffalo Bills endured a significant setback right before kickoff on Thursday night when defensive tackle Ed Oliver sustained a hip issue during pregame preparations. Because of the late setback, the 28-year-old interior lineman was designated inactive for the Week 2 contest.

His unexpected absence left the defense without a vital starter as the team hosted the Detroit Lions at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Oliver's sudden sideline designation proved to be a pivotal break for Detroit prior to the divisional cross-conference clash.
