Not practicing Wednesday Lotulelei didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Lotulelei was inactive for the season opener with a calf injury, but he was able to suit up for Week 2 and played 29 snaps. However, he appears to have picked up a groin injury during the contest that will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's contest against Washington. If he is unable to play this weekend, expect Harrison Phillips, who logged 21 snaps during Week 1, to replace Lotulelei on the interior of the Bills' defensive line.

Back in action Lotulelei (calf) is active Week 2 against Miami.
Impact Lotulelei was inactive Week 1 and limited in practice to begin this week, but took a turn for the better with a full session Friday. He'll provide a boost to the run-stopping ability of the Buffalo defensive front, though his historic tackle total hasn't been high enough to warrant much consideration in most IDP formats.

Full participant in practice Lotulelei (calf) was a full participant in practice Friday and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Since then, the defensive tackle has shown a lot of progress and appears on track to play Sunday. A final update on the veteran's status should be provided ahead of Sunday's matchup.

Bills rule out Lotulelei vs Steelers; Sanders questionable

Will miss Week 1 Lotulelei (calf) is expected to miss Sunday's season opener against the Steelers, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Lotulelei was slated for a big role with the Bills' defense as he was expected to fill the team's hole at defensive tackle. Now that the big lineman is out for Week 1, it's likely Ed Oliver and Harrison Phillips will fill in for Lotulelei. The 31-year-old will look to return to the field for the Bills in Week 2 against the Dolphins.

No sure thing for Week 1 Lotulelei missed practice for the second straight day Wednesday due to a calf injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coach Sean McDermott recently expressed optimism that Lotulelei would be able to play Sunday against the Steelers, but we imagine the big tackle will have to practice Thursday or Friday for that to be a real consideration. It'd be a bummer for the Bills if he did have to sit out Week 1, as one of the very few week points the team had during a fantastic 2020 season was an ability to clog up the middle, a strongpoint of Lotulelei that was missing after he opted out of the campaign.

Impact The big interior lineman still has some time to get healthy ahead of the season opener Sept. 12 vs. the Steelers, when he's expected to help the defense better clog the middle after sitting out the 2020 season due to COVID concerns.
