Bills' Ed Oliver: Past knee issue
Ed Oliver (knee) recorded three total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, during Saturday's 9-3 preseason win over the Steelers.Oliver was dealing with a knee injury towards the beginning of August, but it now appears that he's moved past the issue. The 2019 first-round pick out of Houston has been an integral part of the Buffalo Bills' defensive line over the last couple seasons, recording 85 total tackles, including 12.0 sacks, while also defending six passes across 29 regular-season contests. Expect Oliver to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses now that he's returned to full health.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Suffers knee injury Saturday
Ed 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 Buffalo 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.

Bills' Ed Oliver: Coming off best season
Ed Oliver finished the 2023 regular season with 51 tackle (including 9.5 sacks), three passes defensed and one interception in 16 games.All of those figures were a career high or tied for a career high for the 2019 first-rounder, while the 9.5 sacks were particularly noteworthy considering he is an interior lineman. Oliver and DaQuan Jones will continue to lead one of the stronger units on the team. The Buffalo Bills did lose quite a bit of depth in the offseason and will probably draft a defensive lineman this weekend, but no one will enter the fray to meddle with Oliver's projected playing time, plus the Bills need a wide receiver (or two) more than any other position. If your league forces you to have a spot for both defensive ends and tackles, Oliver is one of the league's better IDP choices for the latter slot.

He followed up his first career INT with a sack on Zappe for an eight-yard loss that led to a New England punt on the next play. Oliver has a career-high 9.5 sacks this season -- which is the same amount he accumulated over the previous three seasons combined -- and will look to hit double digits for the first time in his five-year career in Week 18 against the Dolphins.
