Gilliam (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice. Gilliam has missed Buffalo's last two contests but appears ready to return to the field. He's played just 40 offensive snaps this season but is a mainstay on the Bills' special teams units.
Gilliam (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts. Gilliam has been limited in practice all week due to a hip injury, and the issue is serious enough for the 27-year-old fullback to be sidelined for a second straight game. With Gilliam sidelined Sunday, the Bills may utilize tight ends Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris more in run-blocking schemes.
Gilliam (hip) was estimated as a limited participant for Buffalo's walk-through practice Wednesday. Gilliam was also listed as a limited participant on the Bills' first official practice report for Week 9 before he ultimately sat out Sunday versus the Dolphins. He'll likely have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Gilliam (hip) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Gilliam downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for Buffalo's Week 9 contest. The Toledo product's next opportunity to play will come in Week 10, when the Bills travel to Indianapolis.
Gilliam played all 26 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans. For the first time all season, Gilliam didn't take the field on offense as the Bills went without a fullback. The Bills hadn't featured Gilliam much on offense prior to Week 7, as he hadn't exceeded seven snaps in any of the previous six games and didn't carry the ball or draw a target.
Gilliam played seven of the Bills' 64 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in the team's 47-10 win over the Jaguars on Monday. The fullback has now taken the field for three, five and seven snaps on offense over the first three games of the season and has yet to earn a touch as a ballcarrier or pass catcher. He'll continue to serve mostly as a lead blocker and special-teams contributor whenever he takes the field.
