With Ed Oliver out, can the Bills' defense hold strong against the Jets on Monday night?

The Buffalo Bills have issued their Week 6 injury report, and it doesn’t look good for the team. Fans would be sad, but the team has recently suffered several setbacks. Big names such as Ed Oliver are uncertain to participate in the game, and some have already been ruled out for Monday. Let’s take a detailed dive into this injury report.

For those who are unfamiliar, Sean McDermott, the Bills’ head coach, recently discussed the team’s injury report. There, the guy stated that DT Austin Johnson, who injured his knee, and WR Khalil Shakir, who injured his ankle, may not play on Monday. Both are questionable, which means they might join the gridiron. At the very least, they have a chance to play, but star DL Ed Oliver will be entirely out of the game.

Apart from Ed Oliver, there were some favorable developments for other players. According to his agency, LAA, the RB James Cook has damaged his toe and is questionable about the Monday game. The good news is that he will be entering the field in the practice sessions this week. The RB’s game will be attentively studied throughout practice sessions, and it will be determined whether he will play in the game against the New York Jets.

After all of these injuries, the possibility of a return for the ruled-out players, particularly Oliver, was also talked by the HC.

When is Ed Oliver returning to the field?

It was terrible for Bills fans to learn that their main defensive end would not be playing, but when would he return? Actually, head coach Sean McDermott talked about this and revealed that Oliver may return in Week 7. That will be an acceptable period for him to recover since hamstring injuries often take at least one and a half to two weeks to fully heal.

What’s your perspective on:

With Ed Oliver out, can the Bills' defense hold strong against the Jets on Monday night?

Have an interesting take?

The team will face the Titans in Week 7, which may be an ideal matchup for Ed Oliver’s comeback. The team will need him the most in this game since the Titans have a tremendous offense. Both teams have squared off 50 times, with the Titans holding a significant advantage with 30 wins.

This implies that the Bills will need to acquire some momentum in Week 6 in order to be confident in their ability to beat the Titans. Can Ed Oliver bring in that momentum for the team once he returns?
