Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver and his family are mourning the tragic loss of their 2‑year‑old son, the team announced Tuesday. Oliver, 28, has asked for privacy and prayers during this difficult time, according to a source familiar with the situation who spoke with ESPN and NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe.
No additional details about the child’s death were provided at this time.
Oliver, a 2019 first‑round pick (No. 9 overall), has been a mainstay on Buffalo’s defensive line for the past seven seasons, consistently contributing to the Bills’ front‑seven schemes.
However, last season Oliver appeared in only three games after sustaining an ankle injury and later a torn biceps, limiting his on‑field impact.
During practice Thursday, first‑year Bills coach Joe Brady indicated that Oliver was absent from the joint session with the Cleveland Browns due to an unspecified injury.
This developing story will be updated as more information becomes available.
