Shavers reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Shavers played 12 snaps (10 on offense, two on special teams) during the Bills' 40-14 win over the Jets on Sunday. Buffalo pulled their starters in the fourth quarter, and Shavers took advantage of the opportunity by taking a pass from Mitchell Trubisky 69 yards for his first touchdown reception of his NFL career. Shavers has been elevated by the Bills three times, which is the maximum a team is allowed to do in the regular season.

Shavers reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Shavers played 12 snaps (10 on offense, two on special teams) during the Bills' 40-14 win over the Jets on Sunday. Buffalo pulled their starters in the fourth quarter, and Shavers took advantage of the opportunity by taking a pass from Mitchell Trubisky 69 yards for his first touchdown reception of his NFL career. Shavers has been elevated by the Bills three times, which is the maximum a team is allowed to do in the regular season. He would have to be signed to the active roster in order to play in Buffalo's regular-season finale against New England next Sunday.
The Bills elevated Shavers to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jets. Shavers will be elevated for the third time this season and first time since Week 10. The pass catcher will provide depth at wide receiver behind Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel (ribs). He has seen the field for 22 offensive snaps across two games and has yet to see a target.
Shavers reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday. Shavers was activated for the second time this season prior to Sunday's win versus the Colts as both Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper were ruled out due to wrist injuries. However, Shavers didn't play any snaps and will now wait for his next chance to be elevated.
The Bills elevated Shavers from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Chris Jenkins of Buffalo's official site reports. This will be Shavers' second elevation of the campaign. He was previously elevated in Week 5, when he tallied 16 offensive snaps without recording a target or touch against Houston. The Bills also elevated receiver KJ Hamler on Saturday. Rookie wideout Keon Coleman has been ruled out against the Colts due to a wrist injury while veteran Amari Cooper is questionable with a wrist issue of his own.
Shavers reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Shavers was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans, failing to record any stats while playing 16 offensive snaps and eight snaps with the special-teams unit. If Khalil Shakir (ankle) remains unavailable in Week 6, Shavers could be elevated again for the team's matchup with the Jets on Monday Night Football.
The Bills elevated Shavers from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports. Despite a strong training camp, Shavers was unable to crack the Bills' initial 53-man roster, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. Shavers will provide depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Texans after top pass-catcher Khalil Shakir was ruled out due to an ankle injury.
Shavers was signed to the practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Shavers was one of the brightest performers throughout training camp and the preseason, but in the end the Bills went with experience as they filled out their five-man receiving corps with veterans Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The Bills have three receivers on the practice squad -- Deon Cain and KJ Hamler are the other two -- but Shavers likely offers the most upside as an offensive player if one of the regulars goes down in the regular season.
Shavers was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports. Shavers signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January, reeling in four receptions for 28 yards during the preseason. The wide receiver spent the entirety of the 2023 season with Buffalo's practice squad and if he clears waivers, he will likely begin the 2024 campaign with the practice squad once again.
Shavers has been making a good impressions throughout camp, Dorian Alerte of the Bills' official site reports. Said coach Sean McDermott this week, "One of the first players in the building, one of the last to leave. Knows what we're doing offensively, systematically. When you look up consistent in the dictionary like his face shows up in my mind because he's so consistent, and at a young age. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for that." The undrafted free agent from 2023 is still far down the depth chart, but the Bills don't really seem married to anybody outside the top three of Khalil Shakir, second-round rookie Keon Coleman and veteran Curtis Samuel. Shavers offers good special-teams assets, so we'll see if he can start to leapfrom some of the folks ahead of him throughout the preseason.
