The Buffalo Bills season opener is set to kick off in less than 90 minutes.

It will be the Buffalo Bills traveling to New Jersey to take on the New York Jets under the bright lights of Monday Night Football.

Hours before the contest, the team made the announcement that S Damar Hamlin would be inactive. With that news, let's dive in and see who else won't be suiting up for the contest.

Bills Inactive List:

  • S Damar Hamlin
  • CB Kaiir Elam
  • DE Kingsley Jonathan
  • G Germain Ifedi
  • T Alec Anderson

Jets Inactive List:

  • DL Carl Lawson
  • OL Max Mitchell
  • LB Zaire Barnes
  • RB Israel Abanikanda
  • WR Irvin Charles
  • WR Jason Brownlee

Observations:

Buffalo has a tough task ahead of them in a New York Jets team with their eyes on a Super Bowl. The Bills have been counted out before the season even began, giving them a massive chip on their shoulders.

Can the offensive line hold up long enough for Josh Allen to dissect the stout Jets defense? Can the Bills defense hold Aaron Rodgers at bay? Only time will tell, it's almost time for football. Get your popcorn ready. 

Kaiir Elam being a healthy scratch is a head-scratcher, no pun intended. It seems that Christian Benford and Dane Jackson, along with Tre White, have won over the locker room and the position. This could fluctuate throughout the season, but is it too early to maybe hit the panic button on the Bills' first-round pick?
