The Buffalo Bills will be down a pair of defensive tackles Sunday night in Week 5.
Both Ed Oliver and rookie T.J. Sanders were declared inactive by the team ahead of the AFC East game against the New England Patriots at Highmark Stadium.
Oliver will miss his fourth straight game with an ankle injury suffered ahead of the Week 2 game against the Jets. Sanders, meanwhile, will miss his first game of the season with a knee injury. Both players were listed as questionable on the final injury report. Oliver practice on a limited basis all week, while Sanders was limited Thursday and Friday after getting hurt in practice.
Linebacker Matt Milano and offensive tackle Spencer Brown will return to the lineup for the Bills after missing the Week 4 win over New Orleans because of a calf injury. Brown was questionable on the final injury report and practiced on a limited basis all week.
Milano has been out since suffering a pectoral injury in Week 2 against the Jets. His return comes at a good time, because linebacker Dorian Williams was declared out for the game on the final injury report because of a knee injury. Rookie cornerback Dorian Strong was placed on injured reserve because of a neck injury, so he will also miss the game.
