The Bills placed Shavers (ACL) on injured reserve Wednesday. Shavers will miss the remainder of Buffalo's postseason run due to a torn ACL suffered during the team's wild-card round win over the Jaguars on Sunday. His injury leaves Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman as the only healthy options at wideout on the team's active roster, as Gabe Davis (knee) also suffered an ACL tear versus Jacksonville and was subsequentially placed on IR. Curtis Samuel (elbow) had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday and was listed as a full participant in the team's walkthrough practice, so he could be an option to come off IR and provide added depth for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Denver.
Head coach Sean McDermott announced Tuesday that Shavers sustained a torn ACL in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Buffalo is currently left with just Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman as the lone healthy receivers on the 53-man roster, though Curtis Samuel (elbow) could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver. Given the timing of Shavers' ACL tear, his recovery from surgery is likely to extend into the 2026 season.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Shavers (knee) is being evaluated in the wake of Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Shavers briefly left the field Sunday to have a knee injury checked out by trainers, but he managed to retake the field, finishing the game with one catch for 14 yards (two targets). Meanwhile, McDermott has confirmed that Gabe Davis (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear Sunday. If Shavers is able to get fully healthy in time to face Denver in the AFC divisional round Saturday, he will stand to handle an increased role on offense due to Davis' absence.
