The first few days of practice for the Buffalo Bills hasn’t gone without their bumps and bruises. Some of the team’s most important pieces on the defensive side of the ball have appeared on their early injury reports.
Of those, we knew Josh Norman would be mentioned on Friday by Bills head coach Sean McDermott. But he also added two others: linebackers AJ Klein and Tremaine Edmunds. All three will sit out Friday’s practice. McDermott did not disclose either linebacker injury, but did confirm that Norman has a hamstring injury. However, McDermott did not say the severity of the injury.
On Thursday, Norman intercepted a Josh Allen pass intended for Stefon Diggs and on the ensuing tackle, Norman suffered an injury. He didn’t go to the locker room, but he did sit out the remainder of the practice.
In a bit more positive light, second-year pro Ed Oliver has missed this entire week with a hip injury. Over the course of the past few days, the defensive tackle has done some individual work on the sideline, but not much with his teammates. On Friday, Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott said that’ll change and he’ll be eased into some things.
Here’s the Bills full injury list for Friday, including carryovers from Thursday’s injury report which remained the same:
