The Chiefs will be facing a banged-up Buffalo Bills team on Sunday
AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.
- Bills enter Sunday game shorthanded on defense after multiple injuries.
- DT Ed Oliver requires surgery for torn biceps; DaQuan Jones remains sidelined.
- Linebackers Bernard and Milano plus safeties and DTs are on injury list.
The Buffalo Bills got back on track Sunday by pounding the Carolina Panthers 40-9 and ending a two-game losing streak.
But it wasn’t all good news for the Bills.
Defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who is tied for the team lead in sacks (three) and tackles for loss (seven) was injured Sunday. Bills coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Oliver has a torn biceps that will require surgery, CBS Sports said.
DaQuan Jones, another defensive tackle, didn’t practice last week for the Bills and missed Sunday’s game against the Panthers. It was the second straight missed game for Jones, who has a calf injury.
That means the Bills defense will be shorthanded for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.
And it’s not just on the defensive line.
The Democrat & Chronicle noted that Bills starting linebackers Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano didn’t play Sunday. Starting safety Taylor Rapp, backup safety Damar Hamlin and defensive tackles Sanders and DeWayne Carter are also on injured reserve, that story said.
