ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.: The Buffalo Bills will be minus their top run-stuffing defensive tackle, Star Lotulelei, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Lotulelei was ruled out on Friday because of a toe injury. He will miss his fourth game in five weeks, after missing three straight outings on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Bills’ run defense has struggled even with Lotulelei in the lineup and allowed 222 yards rushing in a 14-10 loss to New England on Monday night.
I know hes frustrated. Sometimes you have those seasons where things come up more than other seasons, coach Sean McDermott said.
Backup tight end Tommy Sweeney was also ruled out with a hip injury.
Receiver Emmanuel Sanders was excused from practice for personal reasons on Friday. Without providing any details, McDermott wouldnt say whether Sanders would be available to play Sunday.
