Overview
- Buffalo announced Friday that Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel were activated from injured reserve, making both eligible for Saturday’s Divisional Round against Denver.
- Oliver’s season included a foot injury followed by a torn biceps that led to an Oct. 28 IR stint after three games with 12 tackles, 11 pressures, seven tackles for loss, five QB hits and three sacks.
- Samuel is available to bolster the wideout group after appearing in six games this season with seven receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown.
- Coverage notes Oliver’s return could fortify Buffalo’s interior rush against Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, while Samuel offers another target for Josh Allen.
- Activation restores eligibility but does not ensure specific snap counts or roles, which will be determined on game day.
