BILLS COULD BE THIN ON DEFENSIVE LINE

Bills starting defensive tackle Ed Oliver was ruled out and his backup, Tim Settle, listed as doubtful on Saturday, leaving Buffalo potentially thin in the middle against running back Derrick Henry and the Titans on Monday night.

Oliver has been sidelined since hurting his ankle in a season-opening 31-10 win over the Rams on Sept. 8. Settle practiced on a limited basis after missing Buffalo’s previous two practices with a calf injury.

Buffalo only has four defensive tackles on its active roster and could be forced to promote Brandin Bryant and C.J. Brewer from its practice squad. The Bills retooled defensive front limited the Rams to 52 yards rushing.

Last season, Henry had 143 yards rushing and scored three times in a 34-31 win over Buffalo. Overall, he’s combined for 334 yards rushing and six TDS in four career games against the Bills.

Titans lose a pair

The Titans ruled starting cornerback Kristian Fulton and running back Dontrell Hilliard out for Monday night’s game because of hamstring injuries.

Neither player practiced all week. Reserve guard Jamarco Jones also was ruled out after missing practice

Friday and Saturday because of an elbow injury.

“It’s always a huge challenge every week, no matter who’s in there,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. “This is a difficult league, and you have to try to earn everything and see if you can get off the field and make them punt.”

Notable

The Ravens activated defensive back Daryl Worley

and wide receiver Raleigh Webb from the practice squad. The Ravens host Miami today. Worley joins a defensive backfield in which Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters and Brandon Stephens are questionable to play because of injuries. Worley has started 54 games in his NFL career — but he only played in four last season for Detroit and Baltimore. Webb is a rookie out of the Citadel who was waived by the Ravens and then signed to their practice squad last month.

• The Falcons placed running back Damien Williams

on injured reserve with a rib injury. Williams was expected to be the primary backup to Cordarrelle Patterson before he suffered the injury on Atlanta’s second possession of last week’s loss to New Orleans. Rookie running back Tyler Algeier was inactive against New Orleans but could make his debut today.
