Bills activate DT Ed Oliver, WR Curtis Samuel from IR

Our Summary

The Buffalo Bills have activated wide receiver Curtis Samuel and defensive tackle Ed Oliver from injured reserve, bolstering their roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Broncos. Both players had been listed as questionable on the final injury report. Samuel, who has been out since November 16 due to an elbow injury, participated fully in the last two practices of the week. Oliver, sidelined since October 26 with a biceps injury, was limited in practice. Prior to these activations, the Bills had only three healthy receivers on their 53-player roster. Additionally, the team has promoted wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and running back Frank Gore Jr. from the practice squad.
