The first injury report of the week is here for the Buffalo Bills, and while there are a good number of names, there's also plenty of positives to be gleaned from it.

Aside from the confirmation that Taron Johnson and Terrel Bernard will be out again for the Monday Night Football matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, it looks as though a lot of players are trending in the right direction.

Injury report.
@BuffaloBills on X.

Bernard and Johnson were out, but every other player on the 53-man roster practiced in some capacity in the Bills' first practice of the week before the Monday Night Football tilt.

The defensive end position has been strong in the first two games, anchored by Greg Rousseau and Von Miller generating plenty of pressure, but getting Casey Toohill, Javon Solomon, and Dawuane Smoot back on the practice field is great news for the depth at the position. 

Solomon, an undersized but high-motor defensive end that the Bills drafted in the fifth round, was hyper-productive in college. He led the country in sacks last year with 16. Solomon has an opportunity to carve out a role as a very strong rotational defensive end, and he could be on track to make his NFL debut on Monday.
