"There were already previously two open spots on the team's roster as receivers Tyrell Shavers and Gabe Davis were placed on injured reserve with torn ACLs suffered in last weekend's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Samuel (elbow) and Hardman give the team five receivers for tomorrow's game, along with Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman."
"Oliver's return brings a boost to a defensive tackle group that has dealt with a variety of injuries this season. The seven-year veteran was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 28 with a torn left biceps injury that required surgery, and then also suffered meniscus damage while rehabbing that led to a minimally invasive procedure on Dec. 29."
""It's just a long time coming," Oliver said on his return to practice. "I kind of just stayed the course even when the tunnel seemed dark and the light at the end of the tunnel seemed so far away." In three games played this season -- he also missed time with an ankle injury early in the year -- Oliver had three sacks and a forced fumble."
The Buffalo Bills activated defensive tackle Ed Oliver and wide receiver Curtis Samuel from injured reserve before the Divisional Round at Denver. Both had practice windows opened this week. Mecole Hardman Jr. and Frank Gore Jr. were elevated from the practice squad, while Ty Johnson is questionable with an ankle injury. Two roster spots were open after Tyrell Shavers and Gabe Davis were placed on injured reserve with torn ACLs suffered against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Samuel (elbow) and Hardman join Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman to provide five receivers. Oliver missed most of the season with a torn left biceps, later had meniscus damage, and played three games this year, recording three sacks and a forced fumble.
