The Bills have released Lotulelei. In 11 games last season, the 32-year-old recorded 17 tackles and three sacks. The Bills will now move on from the defensive tackle after making big investments in their defensive line during free agency, while Lotulelei (a 2013 first-rounder) will look to catch on with another team looking to bolster its run defense.

Lotulelei (personal) rejoined the team Wednesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. Lotulelei missed Sunday's win over the Patriots due to a personal reason but will likely be back in action for Sunday's Week 17 matchup against Atlanta. Assuming he's available, the 32-year-old should reclaim his starting role on the Bills' defensive line, though Harrison Phillips has started to play quite well recently during Lotulelei's frequent absences.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Lotulelei (personal) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after the defensive tackle sat out a second straight practice Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Lotulelei has appeared in nine games for the Bills this season, racking up 16 tackles (11 solo) and three sacks during that span. Unfortunately, he's also missed time due to injury and could now sit out another contest for personal reasons.

Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Lotulelei (toe) is ruled out for Week 14, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Lotulelei was limited in Wednesday's practice but couldn't take any reps Thursday. With one starting defensive tackle already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, the status of Ed Oliver (chest) will need to be closely monitored.

Lotulelei (illness) does not have an injury designation for Monday's game against New England. Lotulelei has been out since Week 10 and was on the reserve/COVID-19 list. However, even after being activated Tuesday, he was only able to practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday. Following a full session Saturday, Lotulelei will be set to return to a key role along the Bills' defensive line heading into a divisional showdown against the Patriots.
