Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that there are no plans for Oliver (biceps/knee) to be designated to return from injured reserve this week, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver landed on injured reserve in late October due to a torn biceps that he sustained against the Panthers in Week 8. There was some optimism that the seventh-year defensive tackle could return for the playoffs. However, that was before Oliver underwent surgery in late December to repair the meniscus in his knee, and he appears to be a long shot to return for the Bills' postseason run, even if the team were to make it to the Super Bowl in February. The Bills will continue to rely on Deone Walker, Greg Rousseau, DaQuan Jones (calf) and Joey Bosa (hamstring) to man the defensive front heading into Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Oliver (biceps) underwent surgery Monday to have his meniscus in his knee repaired, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury occurred while Oliver was rehabbing his torn biceps. It's unclear at this point if Oliver has a chance to play again this season during the playoffs. Oliver has appeared in just three games this season due to various injuries. Deone Walker, Larry Ogunjobi, DaQuan Jones (calf) and Jordan Phillips (ankle) will continue to see heavy snaps at defensive tackle for Buffalo.

Head coach Sean McDermott reiterated Friday that Oliver, who's on injured reserve with a biceps injury, could return to practice if Buffalo makes the playoffs, the Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "There's a chance. it would be more after the regular season, if we can get that far," McDermott said. "So that's kind of where his window would open up."

EDGE Analysis

Oliver still has a few hurdles to clear before practicing, but his potential return would be a huge boost to Buffalo -- which has the third-worst run defense in the league -- if the Bills make the postseason for a seventh straight season. Oliver has been out since Week 8.

Oliver (biceps) has a chance to return for the first week of the playoffs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buffalo coach Sean McDermott confirmed earlier this week that the defensive tackle needs surgery on his torn biceps, per Rapoport. The Bills also still plan to evaluate the trade market as a way to help their struggling run defense. In Oliver's absence, Larry Ogunjobi, Jordan Phillips, DaQuan Jones and Deone Walker will need to take on bigger roles.

The Bills placed Oliver (biceps) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Sean McDermott confirmed Oliver needs surgery, but there's a chance he could return during the playoffs should the Bills qualify for the postseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. It's a massive loss for the Buffalo defense that has struggled to stop the run this season. Oliver has appeared in just three regular-season games this season, logging 12 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks. Larry Ogunjobi, Jordan Phillips, DaQuan Jones (calf) and Deone Walker will need to pick up the slack.

Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Monday that Oliver tore his biceps during the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday and is out indefinitely, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver was unable to return for the second half of Sunday's game, and further tests have confirmed that the 27-year-old defensive tackle tore his biceps. He'll be sidelined indefinitely while recovering, and it doesn't seem likely that he'll be cleared to return this unless the Bills qualify for the playoffs and make a deep run. DaQuan Jones (calf), Larry Ogunjobi, Deone Walker, Michael Hoecht and Jordan Phillips are poised for bigger roles on the defensive line in Oliver's absence.

Oliver is feared to have sustained a torn biceps in Sunday's 40-9 win over the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old defensive tackle recorded three total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 18 defensive snaps before exiting Sunday's game with an injury. If tests confirm a torn biceps, Oliver likely will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. He's battled multiple injuries throughout the year, recording 12 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, across just three appearances. If Oliver misses time as expected, Larry Ogunjobi is likely to have an expanded role on the Bills' defensive line.

Oliver has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a biceps injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver went to the locker room late in the second quarter after suffering the injury and was quickly ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game. With Oliver done for the day and DaQuan Jones (calf) inactive, the Bills will turn to Deone Walker, Larry Ogunjobi and Jordan Phillips to pick up the slack at defensive tackle the rest of the way.

Oliver (ankle) has no injury designation for Buffalo's matchup versus the Falcons on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver is set to play for the first time since the team's Week 1 win over the Ravens after missing the last four games. Now healthy, the 27-year-old should return to his role as one of Buffalo's starting defensive tackles for Monday's matchup.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said Oliver (ankle) will be limited in practice Thursday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oliver has missed four consecutive games due to a left ankle injury, and he also practiced in a limited capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 5 action. He'll work to upgrade to full practice reps in advance of Monday's road matchup against Atlanta.
