Overview
- Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Shavers tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the season.
- Shavers returned after the second-quarter injury and logged 22 second-half snaps, drawing praise from Josh Allen and coaches for his blocking on critical plays.
- Fellow receiver Gabe Davis also suffered a torn ACL in the Wild Card game, leaving Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman as the Bills’ only healthy wideouts.
- The Bills opened Samuel’s return-to-practice window and are weighing elevations from the practice squad, including Mecole Hardman, Kristian Wilkerson and Stephen Gosnell.
- Buffalo visits top-seeded Denver in the divisional round on Saturday as a season-long concern at receiver depth is magnified by injuries to Shavers, Davis and Joshua Palmer.
