The Buffalo Bills have bolstered their roster ahead of the January 12 wild-card game against the Denver Broncos by elevating veteran safety Kareem Jackson and wide receiver Jalen Virgil from the practice squad.

This move safeguards the team's depth, especially given that rookie defensive back Brandon Codrington is questionable for the game due to a hamstring injury. Codrington plays a dual role as a return specialist and a reserve defensive back, making Jackson's experience crucial for the Bills' secondary. Meanwhile, Virgil's involvement could provide added support in the return game.

Kareem Jackson, a first-round pick in 2010, has had a lengthy career with 205 NFL games and nine playoff appearances to his name. Jalen Virgil, known for his kick return capabilities during his college years, spent 2023 on Injured Reserve but brings depth as he aims to make an impact with Buffalo after being waived by the Broncos.

As the Bills head into the playoff matchup, the team is relatively healthy, with Codrington being the only player listed with an injury. The game is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET in Orchard Park, with CBS broadcasting the action.

The Buffalo Bills are making headlines with their innovative offensive strategy, dubbed the "everybody eats" approach, as they prepare for their season finale against the New England Patriots. With a 40-14 victory over the New York Jets, the Bills have seen 13 different players catch touchdown passes this season, tying them for the ninth most in NFL history. Fullback Reggie Gilliam highlighted the team's collective effort, noting that he and practice squad receiver Jalen Virgil are the only ones without a touchdown catch.

As the Bills aim to break their own record, they have a few more candidates to potentially join the touchdown-catching ranks, including practice squad players Frank Gore Jr. and Zach Davidson. The team’s success this season has been attributed to a balanced offensive strategy, especially after trading away top receiver Stefon Diggs and losing Gabe Davis to free agency. Buffalo has set single-season records with 509 points and 63 touchdowns, showcasing a selfless attitude among players.

The Buffalo Bills have reinstated defensive end Dawuane Smoot and linebacker Baylon Spector to their 53-man roster ahead of their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions on December 15.

Both players have recovered from injuries sustained earlier in the season and were full participants in practice. Smoot, who has recorded 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks this season, was sidelined due to a wrist injury, while Spector, a key special teams player, had been out with a calf injury.

To accommodate their return, the Bills released interior offensive lineman Will Clapp and wide receiver Jalen Virgil, both of whom had limited roles this season.

The Buffalo Bills will miss rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman for their Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers due to a wrist injury. Coleman has been sidelined for three consecutive games after suffering the injury in Week 9.

Despite returning to limited practice, he was ultimately ruled out. The Bills will rely on other pass-catchers, including Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakir, as they prepare for a snowy game in Orchard Park.

The Buffalo Bills face a setback as wide receiver Amari Cooper will miss the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins due to a wrist injury sustained in the previous match against the Seattle Seahawks.

Cooper has been limited in practice and is wearing a wrap on his left hand. Coach Sean McDermott expressed hope for his recovery, but this marks Cooper's first absence since joining the Bills from the Cleveland Browns.

Additionally, starting cornerback Christian Benford will also be sidelined with a wrist injury, leading to 2022 first-round pick Kaiir Elam stepping in as a starter. However, the Bills will have Curtis Samuel available after he was previously questionable, and Jalen Virgil has been promoted from the practice squad.
