The Bills elevated offensive lineman Jonotthan Harrison from their practice squad ahead of their Week 15 meeting with the Denver Broncos. The team announced the move on Friday, one day prior to the flexed Saturday kickoff.
Harrison, 29, appeared in all 16 games for the Jets last season, making 10 starts. He has 42 starts in his career. Primarily a center, Harrison has also played guard.
After being cut by the Jets prior to the 2020 season, he signed with Buffalo via their practice squad. He has yet to appear in a game with the team this year.
Despite Harrison’s callup, it could just be a depth move. On the Bills’ final injury report this week, Buffalo did not have any offensive line in jeopardy of missing Week 15’s game.
Last weekend, guard Ike Boettger did struggle against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Cameron Heyward on Buffalo’s offensive line in what was his fourth-career start. There is no official word on whether or not Harrison would actually see any playing time over the likes of Boettger or Brian Winters, who also has seen playing time in 2020 on the Bills’ O-line.
Another possibility is Lee Smith. The tight end is listed as questionable with a knee injury and is primarily used as a blocker
