No further details about Oliver’s son’s death have been made public.
Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reported on Saturday that Oliver and his family were asking for "“privacy and prayers at this very difficult time.”
Oliver did not travel with the team for Saturday’s preseason game in Cleveland against the Browns. Head coach Joe Brady said the veteran defensive tackle sat out Thursday's joint practice with an injury.
The 28-year-old Oliver is entering his eighth NFL season, all with the Bills. He was the franchise's first-round pick in the 2019 draft out of Houston. Last season, he was limited to just three games after suffering an ankle injury and a torn biceps.
