The Buffalo Bills listed seven players as inactive for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, with final availability clarified just before Bills-Rams kicked off at 8:15 p.m. at SoFi Stadium.
For a game that went into Monday night with a few moving parts, the inactive list gave Buffalo its last official answer. Moore, Alford and Jackson had all been listed as questionable before the game, while Oliver and Palmer had already been ruled out on Saturday.
Who was unavailable for the Bills?
Earlier on Monday, Buffalo also signed CB Anthony Kendall from the practice squad and elevated DL Phidarian Mathis and WR Trent Sherfield Sr. from the practice squad, underlining how the Bills were managing their options right up to kickoff.
The final inactive list is the clearest sign of how the team planned to handle Monday Night Football. With the Bills-Rams matchup underway, the emphasis shifted from pregame uncertainty to the players the Bills could actually count on.
Final game-day decisions
That is the practical value of an inactive list at this stage of the week: it settles the question of availability and leaves no ambiguity about who can impact the game. For the Bills, seven players were ruled out of action, while the Rams got their answer on Buffalo's lineup just in time for kickoff.
