Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has confirmed that wide receiver Khalil Shakir and defensive tackle Ed Oliver will miss the upcoming game against the Houston Texans. Shakir, a key target for quarterback Josh Allen, is sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained in the previous game, while Oliver is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Both players are crucial to their respective units, with Shakir being a top pass-catcher and Oliver a vital part of the defensive line. Their absences will challenge the Bills, especially with other injuries affecting the team.
