Overview
- Coach Sean McDermott said Oliver had a knee meniscus 'cleanup' on Monday and offered no timetable, noting the setback clouds his return window though a deep playoff run could keep the door open.
- Oliver has been on injured reserve since tearing his left biceps on October 26, after opening the season with three sacks and 12 tackles in three games.
- Buffalo is 11-5 entering Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Jets with wild-card seeding in play, and McDermott has not decided how extensively to use his starters.
- Quarterback Josh Allen’s right foot X-rays were negative and he was not scheduled to practice Wednesday, with expectations he will be available for the finale.
- Linebacker Terrel Bernard has been ruled out for Sunday, and rookies Deone Walker and T. J. Sanders have taken larger roles on the interior as the team navigates injuries.
