Bills Activate Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel as Broncos Elevate Ex-Buffalo WR Before Divisional Game

Late activations reshape Buffalo’s depth for a visit to top-seeded Denver.

Overview

  • Buffalo moved DT Ed Oliver and WR Curtis Samuel off injured reserve on Friday, with both listed as questionable for Saturday’s AFC divisional game in Denver.
  • Samuel practiced fully this week while Oliver was limited, according to the Bills’ injury report.
  • The Bills also elevated WR Mecole Hardman Jr. and RB Frank Gore Jr. to bolster a roster thinned at receiver after ACL tears to Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers, with Joshua Palmer already out.
  • Denver elevated former Bills wideout Elijah Moore from its practice squad, and Moore told the Denver Gazette he has shared information about Buffalo’s offense in meetings.
  • Analysts highlight Oliver’s potential boost to Buffalo’s run defense and cite ESPN’s pick of Brandin Cooks as the Bills’ offensive X-factor given his recent deep-threat production.
