The Buffalo Bills opened the 21-day windows for tight end Dawson Knox and cornerback Kaiir Elam to practice on Wednesday.
The transactions come as Buffalo (6-6) returns from its bye week and prepares to face the Kansas City Chiefs (8-4) in Week 14.
Knox has missed five games since having surgery for a wrist injury. He had 15 catches for 102 yards and a touchdown through four games.
Elam has missed four games since being placed on IR with an ankle injury. That initial move came as a surprise and following the acquisition of cornerback Rasul Douglas at the 2023 NFL trade deadline. Elam was previously considered a healthy scratch before the move to IR.
Knox and Elam now have 21 days to practice before the Bills have to either add them to their 53-man roster or else they are reverted back to injured reserve again and cannot return for the remain there for the year.
It’s unclear if either will play in Kansas City just yet. Bills Wire will provide updates as information is made available throughout the upcoming week.
