The Buffalo Bills are set to kick off in less than 90 minutes.

It will be the Bills traveling to Foxborough to take on the New England Patriots in a division rivalry game in which Buffalo will look to bounce back after a way too-close-for-comfort win over the New York Giants on Sunday Night football.

The team had already announced that Ed Oliver would be inactive for the contest, a big blow for the already depleted defensive line. 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
  • LB A.J. Klein
  • G Germain Ifedi
  • T Alec Anderson
  • TE Quintin Morris
  • DT Ed Oliver

Patriots inactive list:

  • T Calvin Anderson
  • WR Juju Smith-Schuster
  • WR Kayshon Boutte
  • OLB Josh Uche
  • DE Keion White
  • QB Malik Cunningham
  • QB Will Grier

Observations

Josh Allen is healthy which was the biggest worry after he needed X-rays immediately after the contest against the New York Giants. All eyes are going to be on the franchise QB to see if the injury will hinder him in any way against a very beatable New England Patriots defense.

With the blows to the defensive line, look for Bill Belichick and the Patriots to try and get the running game going early and often, targeting what is perceived to be a weakness for the current Bills' defense.

The Buffalo Bills got some good news in that the Patriots unit is struggling with injuries themselves. Smith-Schuster is out, along with Cunningham not being able to come in for Mac Jones if and when he was to have a bad game gives Buffalo a slight edge when looking at the injuries. 

Kaiir Elam is once again getting another shot at cornerback with the injuries the team is facing in the secondary. Last week was… not wonderful, so the talented former first-round pick will look to bounce back and contribute at a high level.

Just win, kickoff is almost underway.
