Bills HC Sean McDermott announced that they’ve ruled out DT Ed Oliver and LB Matt Milano from Week 4 against the Saints, per Joe Buscaglia.
It’s a tough break for Buffalo’s defense, but they will still be heavily favored against New Orleans.
Oliver has already missed time since Week 1 after he was stepped on during practice on.
Oliver, 27, was selected by the Bills with the No. 9 overall pick out of Houston. He signed a four-year, $19,675,150 rookie contract that included a $12,329,200 signing bonus with the Bills.
The Bills picked up his fifth-year option last year worth $10.753 million fully guaranteed for the 2023 season before signing him to a four-year, $68 million extension.
In 2025, Oliver has appeared in one game for the Bills and recorded six total tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble.
Milano, 31, is a former fifth-round pick of the Bills back in 2017. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.66 million contract and made a base salary of $735,000 for the 2020 season.
Milano was set to be an unrestricted free agent when he agreed to a four-year, $44 million contract that includes $24 million guaranteed. He was due base salaries of $9.25 million over each of the final two years of the deal when he signed another two-year extension.
He had two years remaining on that contract and was owed a salary of $10 million in 2025.
