Here's a breakdown of the defensive players' snap counts from the Bills' Week 1 win against the Rams ...

The biggest note of this list comes with former first-round defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who played just 17 snaps (25 percent) before leaving the game with an ankle injury.

Backups Tim Settle and DaQuan Jones filled in while Oliver was out, but it shouldn't be for too long. WGRZ is reporting that Oliver "will be fine" after he "rolled over" his ankle.

The plan is for Oliver to return to practice this week and be ready to go against the Titans on Monday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
