Ed Oliver's on his way to get his injured biceps tendon surgically repaired ... but the Bills star tells TMZ Sports if Buffalo makes it to the Super Bowl, he'll be back!
The defensive tackle got hurt during the Bills' big victory over the Panthers on Sunday ... and on Tuesday, he touched down in Los Angeles to get the situation looked at by specialists.
But just before he got on his way to see docs, he chatted with us out at LAX ... and he made it clear, if his squad's got a chance to win a championship, he's going to do best to be on that field.
