Bills Rule Out Ed Oliver, Matt Milano for Thursday Night vs. Dolphins

Buffalo turns to an inexperienced interior rotation on a short week against Miami.

Overview

  • The team officially listed Ed Oliver (ankle) and Matt Milano (pectoral) as out for the primetime home game, per the Bills’ announcement.
  • With Larry Ogunjobi serving a six-game suspension and DeWayne Carter sidelined, Buffalo has just three available defensive tackles.
  • DaQuan Jones is set to anchor the interior with rookies T.J. Sanders and Deone Walker taking on expanded snaps.
  • Early Pro Football Focus data shows Sanders with a low overall grade but steady pressure production, while Walker has near‑average pass‑rush marks and run‑defense struggles.
  • Miami ranks 25th in total offense and 29th in rushing through two games, a profile that could lessen the impact of Buffalo’s thin interior in this matchup.
