Bills Activate DT Ed Oliver and WR Curtis Samuel
Despite their activation, both players remain designated as questionable on the team’s final injury report. Their status has added an element of uncertainty to the Bills’ game plan.
Injury Updates and Team Adjustments
Oliver and Samuel recently had their practice windows opened earlier this week. Here are some details regarding their injuries:
- Ed Oliver: Bicep injury, has been limited in practice.
- Curtis Samuel: Elbow injury, full participant in the last two practices.
In addition to Oliver and Samuel, the Bills have also promoted running back Frank Gore Jr. and wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. from the practice squad. This decision reflects the team’s need for depth following a series of injuries affecting both the defensive line and wide receiving corps this season.
Impact on the Team
The returns of Oliver and Samuel could significantly influence the Bills’ performance. Oliver has been sidelined since October 26, while Samuel last played on November 16. Their presence on the field could enhance the Bills’ chances against the Broncos.
