The final injury report for the Buffalo Bills before their Monday Night Football meeting with the New York Jets is a confusing one, leaving plenty of room for possible outcomes. 

Defensive tackle Ed Oliver was ruled out after logging three straight DNPs with a hamstring injury, but everybody else has a "questionable tag."

Before today, it looked as though Josh Allen and the Bills offense was going to be without two of their most important playmakers in wide receiver Khalil Shakir and running back James Cook. Somewhat surprisingly, the two of them were able to get in limited practices on Saturday, and now carry "questionable" tags into Monday. We'll see if either of them are able to go for a Bills offense that desperately needs to have a good outing.

The defensive side of the ball looks to be getting some key players back as well. Starting middle linebacker Terrel Bernard apparently left last week's game no worse for wear, and got in three straight full participation practices. He's off the report and ready to go. Taylor Rapp also has cleared the concussion protocol and will be back on the field for the Bills on Monday. 

Also of crucial important, it looks like cornerback Taron Johnson has a chance to get back on the field for the first time since suffering a forearm injury in Week 1. He would be a tremendous boost to the Bills secondary.
