In a significant move that could reshape their playoff prospects, the Buffalo Bills are set to reinstate two pivotal players from injured reserve as they prepare for their upcoming AFC Divisional Round clash against the Denver Broncos this Saturday.
Defensive tackle Ed Oliver and wide receiver Curtis Samuel have officially been activated to the 53-man roster, making them eligible to participate in the game. However, it is worth noting that both athletes remain listed as questionable according to the team’s most recent injury report, leaving fans eager for updates on their status.
Additionally, the Bills have also promoted running back Frank Gore Jr. and wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. from the practice squad, further enhancing their roster depth as they head into this crucial matchup.
Oliver, who has been dealing with a bicep injury, and Samuel, who is recovering from an elbow issue, saw their practice windows open at the start of the week. As the week progressed, Oliver has participated in limited practice sessions, while Samuel has fully engaged in the last two practices, suggesting he’s on track for a return to the field.
This season has not been kind to the Bills, as injuries have plagued both their defensive line and wide receiver positions. The comeback of these two players could play a vital role in the team’s performance. Notably, Oliver has not stepped onto the field since October 26, when the Bills faced the Carolina Panthers, and Samuel last played on November 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
