ED OLIVER NEWS

Sheds injury tag Oliver (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's contest in Las Vegas.

Impact Oliver managed to log a 'DNP/LP/FP' practice slate while dealing with a knee bruise this week, and it looks like he should be able to handle his usual starting role at defensive tackle. The 2019 first-round pick has generally floated between 50 and 70 percent of defensive snaps this season, so Quinton Jefferson and Harrison Phillips would likely see expanded roles if Oliver were to be restricted in any way.

Nursing knee bruise Oliver did not practice Thursday due to a knee issue after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Rapoport says he's been told this is a knee bruise and not a structural issue, which makes sense since at one point Oliver looked to be in great pain during Sunday's win over the Rams but ended up back out there for more action. This may be something that's been bothering Oliver for a while, as he missed some practice work prior to the Week 3 contest with a knee issue before returning to full activity last Friday.

Ready to face Rams Oliver (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Oliver began the week as a non-participant in practice, but he managed to return to full activity Friday. The second-year defensive tackle notched a sack versus Miami in Week 2, and he'll look to keep up that disruptive momentum against the Rams.

Knee issue lingers Oliver missed practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

Impact The second-year defensive tackle suffered the injury during Sunday's win at Miami but muddled through it and by all accounts finished the game. With four tackles and a sack, Oliver was a difference maker in the close win. We'll see if he's able to practice on some level Thursday, as there's been no word from the coaching staff that this is more than a minor injury.

Still missing time Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Oliver is dealing with hip soreness as he continues to miss practice time, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Although the Houston product has missed valuable practice time, McDermott added that the team is hopeful that the soreness will subside in the next few days. The 22-year-old racked up 43 tackles (24 solo) and five sacks in his first pro season, and he's expected to assume a starting role across the defensive line for 2020 when healthy.
