Bills coach McDermott rules out starting defensive tackle Oliver playing against the Jets on Monday night

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver will miss a second week with a hamstring injury after coach Sean McDermott on Saturday ruled the starter out of Monday night’s game at the New York Jets.

McDermott said he is confident Oliver can return the following weekend when Buffalo hosts the Tennessee Titans.

As for the status of Buffalo’s other key players on the injury report, McDermott listed receiver Khalil Shakir (right ankle), running back James Cook (toe) and nickel cornerback Taron Johnson (right forearm) as questionable, with all three scheduled to practice later in the day.

Shakir, the Bills’ leading receiver, missed a game. Johnson has been out since his injury in Week 1.

McDermott said receivers Curtis Samuel (toe) and Mack Hollins (shoulder) are expected to play against the Jets (2-3).

The AFC East-leading Bills (3-2) have suffered two straight losses to their division rivals.
