Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Gilliam (hip) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Gilliam downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for Buffalo's Week 9 contest. The Toledo product's next opportunity to play will come in Week 10, when the Bills travel to Indianapolis.

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.

Gilliam (groin) returned to the practice field on Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Gilliam has been sidelined since Aug. 7 with a groin injury, but his return to practice indicates he is trending in the right direction. Seeing as though he is the only fullback on Buffalo's roster, his presence alone allows them to expand their playbook with certain sets.
