2025 campaign cut short Oliver (knee) tallied 12 total tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across three regular-season appearances in 2025.

Impact The 2019 first-round pick from Houston appeared in just three regular-season contests this season due to a biceps injury, but he was incredibly impactful when healthy. Oliver recorded 1.0 sacks in each of his three appearances, finishing the season tied for the fourth-most sacks on the Bills defense. He returned for the Divisional Round loss to the Broncos but exited after just 16 defensive snaps due to a knee injury. If Oliver is healthy for the beginning of the 2026 season, he's expected to start as one of the NFL's best interior defensive linemen.

Exits with knee injury Oliver exited Saturday's game versus the Broncos with a knee injury.

Impact Oliver tore his biceps earlier this season and subsequently underwent surgery in December to repair the meniscus in his knee, and this was his first game action since Week 8. It's unclear if this knee injury is an aggravation or a new injury altogether, but the Bills' run defense takes a step back without his presence.

Good to go Saturday Oliver (biceps/knee) is active for Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

Impact Oliver is officially set to make his return to the field after having been activated off injured reserve Friday. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since tearing his biceps during the Week 8 win over the Panthers back in October and should resume his role as one of the team's starting defensive tackles against Denver.

Activated from injured reserve The Bills activated Oliver (biceps/knee) from injured reserve Friday.

Impact Oliver suffered a torn biceps in October and then underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee last month. He's listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round tilt with the Broncos. Oliver's return would be a massive boost to a Buffalo defense that has been gashed by opposing running backs seemingly all season.

Impact Oliver was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday and has since logged three consecutive limited practices. If the 28-year-old gets added to the Bills' active roster in time to play Saturday, it would be a significant addition to Buffalo's defense, as he's recorded 12 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble in just three appearances this season. However, if Oliver cannot return for the divisional round, Deone Walker and DaQuan Jones would likely remain Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen.

Impact Oliver now kicks off a 21-day window where he can be evaluated at practice without counting against the 53-man roster, making him eligible to return to action as early as Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver, if healthy. The veteran defensive tackle was placed on IR in late October due to a torn biceps, and he's also recovering from meniscus surgery on his knee.
