Per Lysowski, coach Joe Brady said Thursday that the knee injury Oliver suffered during Sunday's game versus the Patriots is not believed to be a long-term issue.

Oliver (hip) is available for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Questionable against Chargers
Oliver (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Oliver injured his hip during warmups ahead of the Week 2 win over the Lions. He didn't practice Wednesday. However, the veteran practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, so despite the questionable designation, it appears he at least has a shot to play. If Oliver can't suit up versus Los Angeles, DeWayne Carter should be in line for more work once again.

Oliver suffered a hip injury during warmups ahead of the 41-31 win over Detroit in Week 2. The veteran didn't practice Wednesday. However, since he was back in a limited capacity Thursday, it appears he's trending favorably toward returning for the Week 3 meeting with the Chargers.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Starts Week 3 with DNP
Oliver (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Oliver suffered a hip injury in pre-game warmups before the Bills' Week 2 Thursday Night Football win over the Lions. The defensive tackle is considered day-to-day with the injury, meaning a limited or full participation day in the Thursday and Friday practice sessions could be enough for the 28-year-old to earn the right to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Could return Week 3
Oliver (hip) is considered day-to-day and could be available for the Bills' Week 3 tilt against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 27, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Oliver did not play in the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions on Thursday after sustaining a hip injury during pregame warmups. The veteran defensive lineman's practice participation during the upcoming week will ultimately determine whether he'll be available for Week 3.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Back in pads for OTAs
Oliver (knee) is participating in the Bills' OTAs, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Back in January, Oliver left Buffalo's loss at Denver in the divisional round early with a knee injury, but the issue does not seem to be bothering him any longer. He projects to start on the Bills' defensive line in 2026 as long as he's available, and he'll be looking to bounce back from a season that saw him appear in just four games as he dealt with biceps and meniscus injuries.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Injuries impact 2025 campaign
Oliver (knee) tallied 12 total tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across three regular-season appearances in 2025.
The 2019 first-round pick from Houston appeared in just three regular-season contests this season due to a biceps injury, but he was incredibly impactful when healthy. Oliver recorded 1.0 sacks in each of his three appearances, finishing the season tied for the fourth-most sacks on the Bills defense. He returned for the divisional-round loss to the Broncos but exited after just 16 defensive snaps due to a knee injury. If Oliver is healthy for the beginning of the 2026 season, he's expected to start as one of the NFL's best interior defensive linemen.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Exits with knee injury
Oliver exited Saturday's game versus the Broncos with a knee injury.
Oliver tore his biceps earlier this season and subsequently underwent surgery in December to repair the meniscus in his knee, and this was his first game action since Week 8. It's unclear if this knee injury is an aggravation or a new injury altogether, but the Bills' run defense takes a step back without his presence.
