The Buffalo Bills face a challenging matchup against the Houston Texans, missing several key players. Coach Sean McDermott confirmed that wide receiver Khalil Shakir, defensive tackles Ed Oliver and Austin Johnson, and safety Taylor Rapp will not participate due to injuries.
Oliver's hamstring issue arose during practice, while Johnson, Rapp, and Shakir sustained their injuries in previous games. Cole Bishop is set to make his NFL debut in Rapp's absence.
Additionally, linebacker Terrel Bernard and cornerback Taron Johnson are questionable, having been limited in practice due to their respective injuries.
