Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the host New York Jets, head coach Sean McDermott announced Friday.

The decision was expected after Oliver wore a walking boot and did not participate in practice Thursday due to a left ankle injury. Multiple reports also said Oliver was using a scooter to get around.

"Ed will be out this game. (He) got stepped on at practice on Wednesday, unfortunately," McDermott told WGR-550 on Friday morning. "We'll see where it goes into next week as far as his status goes."

Oliver, 27, recorded six tackles and a sack and forced a crucial fumble by Derrick Henry in Buffalo's 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night in the season opener.

The 2019 first-round pick (ninth overall) has 28 sacks, nine forced fumbles and 237 tackles in 93 games (84 starts) with the Bills.
