Thankfully he has 11 days to get ready for the next one. If he needs to sit we will be fine.

Has me thinking high ankle sprain. Tough. 6-8 weeks? But we can sustain it with our deep DL.

Time is Ed’s friend right now. Good thing we have a long break before we dismantle the Titans on MNF.

[GunnerBill]

I think hold him out of TEN whatever the prognosis. For a guy who relies on his explosion an ankle is a tough one.

Let’s not jump to conclusions. 
The fact he came back after halftime and tried to play  makes me have hope it isn’t the high ankle sprain.

Somebody with a DVR watch that 4th down conversion the Rams had early; I think that was the play he got hurt on.

He made a really intelligent and really athletic play looping around the front of the WR so he didn't knock him forward and then planting and turning to get squared up and help with the tackle. The Guard only beat him there by a split second and it would have been a stop if he hadn't.

How many times do you see a guy from behind knocking a ballcarrier past the sticks, but Oliver knew exactly where he was and nearly made an obscenely good play to get the ball back

Walking boot not a huge concern. High ankle a concern. Highly doubt they’d send him out with a high ankle sprain. If he rolled it to the inside he’s good (back by next game or misses worse case 3 games). If it bent outward that’s the dreaded high ankle. 4-6 weeks & likely returns after bye week w/ Tre.

The fact he came back and then left made me feel worse. He couldn’t move when he came back.

Walking boot is very often precautionary these days immediately following games. Especially with a long flight and any unnecessary walking involved. They just want to protect it as much as possible.

Highly doubt he would have re-entered the game in the 2nd half if that was the case.

[Bubba Gump]

Doubt it's a HAS if tried playing the 2nd half. If it was anything serious, he would've been in street clothes the 2nd half.

[starrymessenger]

I think he played with an injured ankle at some point last year.

[BillsFan130]

Just please no lisfranc..

 

Even it's it's high ankle, rest up and we'll get him back in a couple months and have him ready for the stretch run

He seems like a tough dude.

 

He rides horses, he has gotta be tough

Same.  No way he's back in there AFTER halftime if it's high ankle.  

 

Wouldn't be surprised if he needs 2 weeks tho.  

 

We should be able to handle Tennessee without him.  

[GolfandBills]

Probably miss next week I’d imagine.  

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

I hope Ed will be back soon.

 

That said, it seems like Phillips makes plays that Oliver doesn't. I'm not sure I can recall a time that Oliver busted through the line and had a huge powerful sack like Phillips did tonight... Twice.
