Ahead of their Week 5 AFC showdown with the Houston Texans, the Buffalo Bills have already ruled out two important pieces to their team. Head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Khalil Shakir and defensive tackle Ed Oliver would both miss this game.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has ruled out Khalil Shakir and Ed Oliver for the team's Week 5 clash with the Houston Texans.

The Bills are already missing suspended pass rusher Von Miller. Now, they will face the Texans on Sunday without leading receiver Khalil Shakir, Austin Johnson at defensive tackle and Taylor Rapp at safety.

While the Bills' decision to trade Stefon Diggs to the Texans was likely influenced by frustrations with the receiver's off-field actions, his declining production and age likely sparked the idea in the first place.
