Oliver (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Oliver upgraded from limited work Wednesday and Thursday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his hamstring issue. Expect Oliver to start alongside DaQuan Jones as part of the Bills' top interior defensive-line duo in Week 7.

Oliver (hamstring) has been deemed out for Monday's clash against the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Oliver will miss his second straight contest due to a hamstring injury he suffered in practice last week. The veteran defensive lineman did not practice in any capacity this week, so he could be in danger of missing Week 7 as well. In Oliver's absence, DeWayne Carter logged his highest snap count of the season last Sunday, and he could again see extended work against the Jets on Monday Night Football.

Oliver (hamstring) will not practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Oliver suffered the injury in practice last week, which lead to him missing the team's Week 5 loss to the Texans. With Week 6 prep now underway, the 26-year-old is still not recovered enough to step on the field, leaving him questionable for Monday's matchup with the Jets.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Oliver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.comreports. Oliver popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, so it looks like he injured his hamstring in practice and will be forced to miss at least one game as a result. Until Oliver is cleared to retake the field, rookie third-round pick DeWayne Carter will stand to handle an expanded role on defense.

Oliver suffered a knee injury during Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears. Even though he's been cleared to play, he will not return to the game, according to the NFL Network broadcast. We'll see if the early week practice reports reveal anything more, but it looks like the Bills may have dodged a bullet after Oliver was injured in the first quarter. The defensive tackle is arguably the team's most important player on that side of the ball, so perhaps the Bills are just playing it safe with a player who will not require much work ahead of Week 1.
