ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills will be without several key players in Sunday’s game vs. the Houston Texans, with wide receiver Khalil Shakir, defensive tackles Ed Oliver and Austin Johnson and safety Taylor Rapp all ruled out by coach Sean McDermott on Friday.
Oliver suffered a hamstring injury in practice Thursday, while the other injuries took place in the game. Johnson (oblique), Rapp (concussion protocol) and Shakir (ankle) have not practiced this week.
With Rapp out, second-round pick Cole Bishop will get his first NFL start alongside Damar Hamlin.
Linebacker Terrel Bernard (pectoral) and nickel corner Taron Johnson (forearm) have been limited in practice all week and will be questionable for the game. Bernard was injured in Week 2, while Johnson has been out since the first drive of Week 1.
