Multiple MAJOR Bills updates... This is HUGE

Well, the Buffalo Bills just got some great news regarding the health and availability of two of their star players. Will they play against the Raiders in Week 6 or will they be ruled out once again? Today, we will be going over this Bills final injury report ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Raiders and go over everything that you need to know regarding the injuries on this Bills team. So, welcome everybody to Bills Digest. I'm Ben Volker and here at Bills Digest, We've got you covered with all things related to the Buffalo Bills.

And the Bills, they are still out there in California on the West Coast. They are practicing at UC Irvine. But that means we are three hours behind on our injury report. So a bit of a late one here, but we finally have the answers that we have been looking for regarding the state of this Bills team heading into week six. Let's go ahead, not waste any time here, pull up the official questionables for this game. That's right, the questionables because no players have been ruled out of this contest yet. Of course, you've got wide receiver DJ Moore. He's questionable with a shoulder injury, defensive tackle. Ed Oliver with a knee injury, cornerback Dee Alford has an ankle injury, and wide receiver Josh Palmer with a shoulder injury as well. All of those players, all four of them, are listed as questionable. And then Spencer Brown, who got injured against the Rams on Monday night, is good to play and won't be given an injury designation heading into week six. A huge dodge bullet for the Bills there on their offensive line. A offensive line that had been healthy and had played every snap together up until Monday night. So great to see Spencer Brown back there. Let's go look at this injury timeline just to visualize what has happened since Monday night's game. Obviously, during the game, like I mentioned, Spencer Brown, he left with a back injury. And then Palmer and Oliver and Moore, they were all unavailable from the go. But then on Wednesday, Moore and Oliver did not participate once again. But Palmer and Brown were limited. And then Thursday and into today, today, Moore and Oliver seen at practice. This is from Jay Skirsky. And then Brown upgraded to a full participant. So we will get to what we know about Moore and Oliver in just a sec. But first, I've got to let you guys know that today's video is sponsored by Kalshi. And on Kalshi, you're trading directly against other users, not the house, like traditional sportsbooks. You're buying yes or no contracts on the outcome of events across sports, politics, or even the weather. For example, right now on Kalshi, here is a list of players to score a touchdown in this week's matchup. You see the Raiders' defense, the Bills' defense. Obviously, Josh Allen has a crazy high percentage at 60% on a non-passing touchdown. That's just absolutely insane to think about. look at Kirk Cousins there with a six percent in return but the guy I'm liking is right there at the bottom that's right it is Keon Coleman he has a touchdown catch in both of his last two games and he has stepped up when the Bills have needed him in DJ Moore's absence so far this year so if DJ Moore is unavailable to go in week six and maybe even if he is unavailable to go I am definitely looking at Keon Coleman to score a touchdown so if you place just $25 on this right now on Kalshi it's a 25% chance you could win $98 in return that is pretty good so if you are interested in trying out Kalshi you can use the link in the description trade $25 with code digest NFL and get $55 added to your account instantly thank you once again to Kalshi for sponsoring today's video all right let's get to the main news that we are looking at today DJ Moore and Ed Oliver they are the biggest questions for the Bills right now no surprise there but every member of the Bills roster on the 53 man and the practice squad this is crazy was on the field and in some capacity at UC Irvine today now of course the big two biggest names DJ Moore Ed Oliver Ed Oliver was out there to what extent limited or full we do not know as of right now but DJ Moore in a non-contact jersey so that isn't very inspiring you don't want to see him in a non-contact jersey uh the final practice before the game but it's better than both of them had been up to this point with their with their DNPs coming into today now i will note it says there at the bottom this is the exact uh same cadence of practices as last week for DJ Moore he did a wind up sitting so if we're going off of the pattern established by last week it would it would seem that DJ Moore is trending once again to missing week six but Joe Brady he does not seem all too concerned about the state of the Bills and their injuries after five weeks through the season this is what he said after Monday night's game he said nobody's gonna be a hundred percent healthy right now we just played a Monday night game we're five weeks into the season it's part of the grind so not much of a concern for Joe Brady regarding this so Ed Oliver DJ Moore whoever else it may be none of these none of these injuries it's important to keep in mind are long term so that is at least a sigh of relief there no matter what but it would be nice to get DJ Moore back this week we've been talking about him every single week because he's just been popping up on this injury report now he hasn't contributed much to the Bills because he was injured in week two and ever since then has been battling the shoulder injury but we saw we saw the taste of what he could do in week one against the Texans when he went off for 100 receiving yards and a touchdown when DJ Moore is out there this offense completely changes it is night and day take a look at the Lions game the first half when DJ Moore played, even when he wasn't getting receptions, just the fact that he's drawing coverage absolutely changes this Bill's offense. And he hasn't played much against the Raiders so far in his career because he has been on NFC teams up to this point. But in his limited sample size, he has been pretty good against the Raiders. Obviously, you can see here the the differences between this year and his games against the Raiders uh now these these these season totals per game are going to go down because in both the Lions game and in the Patriots game DJ Moore did not do much before he exited with his injuries and those go into these accounts So if you take those out of it, DJ Moore and what he's done so far this season, I think can be replicated against the Raiders and their very shaky secondary. The Raiders secondary, kind of like the Bills, they do not have much talent-wise in that room. Let's go ahead and take a look at Ed Oliver now and what he is looking like coming into this game. This is what was noticed after last week's win against the Rams. It was noticed that Ed Oliver was on the sidelines with a sleeve on his knee. There is no additional bracing, which is a very positive and encouraging sign for his chances to play in week six. But honestly, I'm not too concerned about Ed Oliver and missing time. because if we are going to pick apart and look at this Bills defense, which there's no secret has been atrocious, the defensive line is the Bills' strong suit on defense so far this year. They have been quietly and sneakily really good, and it's being overshadowed just because of the amount of points that have been put up and the terrible coverage that our defensive backs and our secondary has been performing so far this year. But I agree with Jim Leonard on what he says here, because the guys that have stepped up in place of Ed Oliver, especially last week against the Rams, really did make an impact. You look at TJ Sanders and what he did, stopping a crucial two-point conversion to keep the game, I believe it was either tied or up by one for the Bills, but stopped a massive Rams two-point conversion that would have absolutely changed the entire trajectory of the game with that one and then Dwayne Carter in relief of Ed Oliver once again logging a sack on Matthew Stafford so you see what Jim Leonard said here TJ I think you noticed him throughout the game he did a great job I would agree with that uh Dwayne has been consistent for us a young guy stepping up and being a physical presence so I think that the defensive line has really been impressive so far in Ed Oliver's absence so not too concerned on that front there let's go ahead take a look at what would happen if the availability for DJ Moore and Ed Oliver changes obviously with a healthy DJ Moore it gives Josh Allen another downfield target like I said go take a look at what he did against the Texans week one but if Moore is limited or out Buffalo may need to spread the targets among other the remaining receivers Josh Palmer uh questionable along with DJ Moore but I think he is more likely than Moore to play but again look for guys like Keon Coleman in the end zone uh Khalil Shakir to get some yards after the catch like he does and let's get Skylar Bell a little bit more involved this time um as far as Ed Oliver is concerned his interior his interior presence can certainly disrupt quarterbacks and create opportunities for edge rushers like Greg Rousseau who's having a phenomenal year but like I said uh this defensive tackle rotation if Ed Oliver cannot play I think that they are are able and very capable of covering his snaps but we have to remember this Raiders game is the last game before the Bills bye honestly for me maybe I'm just going to be a little cocky here I think that in the grand scheme of things long term it is better if DJ Moore and Ed Oliver sit this week maybe I'm underestimating the Raiders maybe I'm getting a little bit too ahead of myself but if the Bills can beat the Rams without those two you gotta think you gotta like their chances to still beat the Raiders without DJ Moore and Ed Oliver in there but Joe Brady doesn't think like that this is what Joe Brady says he says that those guys can be out there the anticipation is for them to be out there so it remains to be seen what it looks like on Sunday afternoon but i want to hear from you guys what do you think who will be available on Sunday will DJ Moore be out there will Ed Oliver be out there will it be both or will it be none uh as of right now like i said i i'm kind of hope it's neither of them and they can just rest up take the bye and be ready for the Ravens week eight but if i had to pick one i think i'm gonna go with Ed Oliver just because he wasn't wearing any sort of brace he it looks like he is more of a participant in practice today than DJ Moore. So I'm going to go with Ed Oliver with this one. But let me know what you guys think in the comments below. And make sure to keep it right here on Bills Digest for all of your Bills content.
