Bills active DT Oliver and WR Samuel from IR, promote WR Hardman and RB Gore from practice squad
- Ahead of Saturday's matchup, the Bills activated defensive tackle Ed Oliver and wide receiver Curtis Samuel from injured reserve, clearing the way for their 4:30 p.m. kickoff in Denver.
- Because each player's 21-day practice window opened this week, Oliver, placed on injured reserve on Oct. 28 for biceps surgery and meniscus work on Dec. 29, and Samuel, sidelined since mid-November, were activated.
- Coach Sean McDermott, Bills head coach, said Thursday, `There's a process that leads to playing and he's worked hard at it,' after Ed Oliver, defensive tackle, logged 12 tackles, seven tackles for loss, three sacks and five quarterback hits in three games this year.
- Practically, the roster changes mean the moves replenish a thin Bills roster one day before kickoff, elevating Mecole Hardman Jr. and Frank Gore Jr. to give five receivers for Saturday's game.
- Strategically, Oliver's return upgrades Buffalo's pass-rush options against the balanced Denver Broncos, whose 14-3 record makes Saturday's AFC Divisional Round the Bills' toughest test.
