"ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills continue to deal with injuries on defense as coach Sean McDermott announced on Saturday that safety Damar Hamlin and rookie defensive tackle T.J. Sanders are both being placed on injured reserve. Hamlin suffered a pectoral injury during Thursday's practice ahead of the team's "Monday Night Football" game at the Atlanta Falcons (7:15 p.m. ET, ESPN). Sanders is dealing with a knee injury that caused him to miss last week's loss to the New England Patriots."
""Don't know on either of 'em really," McDermott said on if the injuries are season ending. "Feel a little bit better about T.J. Damar is up in the air at this point." Hamlin was the team's third safety and playing special teams, while Sanders is part of the defensive line rotation. Options to replace them include veterans on the practice squad - safety Jordan Poyer and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips - in addition to rookie safety Jordan Hancok"
Buffalo placed safety Damar Hamlin and rookie defensive tackle T.J. Sanders on injured reserve after Hamlin suffered a pectoral injury in practice and Sanders continued to struggle with a knee injury that forced him to miss the loss to New England. Sanders will undergo knee surgery after the team monitored his recovery and decided it did not improve. Coach Sean McDermott expressed uncertainty about whether either injury is season-ending, saying he felt better about Sanders than Hamlin. Hamlin served as the third safety and played special teams; Sanders was part of the defensive-line rotation. Options include Jordan Poyer, Jordan Phillips and rookie Jordan Hancok. Starting linebacker Matt Milano was ruled out Monday with a re-aggravated pectoral injury originally suffered in Week 2.
