Bills' Ed Oliver inactive due to hip injury before Lions game

Ed Oliver, the top defensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills, is inactive for the Thursday night matchup against the Detroit Lions after injuring his hip during warmups. His absence is unexpected, as he was not listed on the team's injury report prior to the game. The Bills had previously come off a victory against the Houston Texans and were expected to be relatively healthy. This game marks the regular-season opener at the Bills' new Highmark Stadium, adding to the significance of Oliver’s absence. The Bills have chosen to be cautious with Oliver, given the wet field conditions and their nine-day break before their next game.
