Gilliam (hip) was estimated as a limited participant for Buffalo's walk-through practice Wednesday. Gilliam was also listed as a limited participant on the Bills' first official practice report for Week 9 before he ultimately sat out Sunday versus the Dolphins. He'll likely have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Head coach Sean McDermott said that Gilliam (hip) won't play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Gilliam was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice before not taking any reps Thursday, so the Bills' decision to rule him out isn't especially surprising. The fullback has played primarily on special teams this season and has yet to receive a carry or draw a target over his 35 snaps on offense.

Gilliam played all 26 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans. For the first time all season, Gilliam didn't take the field on offense as the Bills went without a fullback. The Bills hadn't featured Gilliam much on offense prior to Week 7, as he hadn't exceeded seven snaps in any of the previous six games and didn't carry the ball or draw a target.

Gilliam played seven of the Bills' 64 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in the team's 47-10 win over the Jaguars on Monday. The fullback has now taken the field for three, five and seven snaps on offense over the first three games of the season and has yet to earn a touch as a ballcarrier or pass catcher. He'll continue to serve mostly as a lead blocker and special-teams contributor whenever he takes the field.

Gilliam played 14 of the Bills' 68 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys. The fullback recorded a career-high eight catches for 69 yards and a touchdown in 15 games in 2022, but the Bills haven't gone out of their way to keep him involved in the passing attack this season. Over his 14 appearances to date, Gilliam has drawn just one target, which he turned into a three-yard reception.
