**Buffalo Bills Face Injury Concerns Ahead of Monday Night Matchup with the Jets**

The Buffalo Bills are navigating a series of injuries as they prepare for their crucial game against the New York Jets on Monday night. Head coach Sean McDermott announced that defensive tackle Ed Oliver will miss his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. Despite the setback, McDermott remains optimistic about Oliver’s recovery, indicating that the team does not anticipate placing him on injured reserve.

Oliver's absence is compounded by several other players dealing with injuries. Wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle), running back James Cook (foot/toe), cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm), and defensive tackle Austin Johnson (oblique) are all limited in practice and listed as questionable for Monday's game. McDermott emphasized that their participation in the upcoming practice would be critical in determining their availability.

In contrast, McDermott expressed confidence that wide receivers Curtis Samuel (foot/toe) and Mack Hollins (shoulder), despite being limited in practice this week, are expected to participate in practice and play against the Jets.

As the Bills look to continue their campaign, they must rely on depth and adaptability to overcome their injuries. The team hopes that Oliver's condition will improve markedly by next week, potentially bolstering their defensive line as they navigate a competitive season.
