Buffalo Bills star defensive tackle Ed Oliver tore his biceps in Sunday’s win at Carolina and will undergo surgery, sidelining him indefinitely, coach Sean McDermott said Monday.
Oliver, 27, was injured on a 3-yard rushing play by Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard just before the two-minute warning in Buffalo’s 40-9 victory.
Oliver was holding his left arm as he walked off the field with trainers and headed to the medical tent, where he was quickly ruled out for the game.
He recorded his third sack of the season and had three tackles against the Panthers. It was just his third game this season after missing Weeks 2-5 with an ankle injury.
Oliver has 30 sacks, 76 quarterback hits, 243 tackles, nine forced fumbles and one interception in 95 games (86 starts) since Buffalo drafted him with the ninth overall pick in 2019.
