Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver was spotted wearing a walking boot and did not participate in practice on Thursday due to a left ankle injury.

Multiple media outlets reported Oliver was using a scooter to get around.

Oliver, 27, recorded six tackles, a sack and a crucial fumble of Derrick Henry in Buffalo's 41-40 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night in the teams' season opener. The Bills visit the New York Jets (0-1) this Sunday afternoon.

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

Also, running back James Cook (hamstring) was a full practice participant one day after being limited.
