The Buffalo Bills confirmed a few roster moves on Tuesday ahead of their Divisional round meeting with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.
Running back Zack Moss (ankle) officially had his season come to an end. He was placed on the team’s injured reserve list. Taking his place on the team’s 53-man roster was offensive lineman Jordan Devey.
Positionally, Antonio Williams could have been the player most pointed to on the Bills practice to replace Moss on Buffalo’s roster. Williams impressed in the Bills’ season finale against the Miami Dolphins with two touchdowns and is the one of only two running backs on the team’s practice squad (Christian Wade).
Instead it’s Devey, who was only active once on game day in 2020. In Buffalo’s Wild Card win over the Indianapolis Colts, Devey was called up from the team’s practice squad but was inactive on game day.
However, despite not signing to the 53-man roster, Williams can still be called up from Buffalo’s practice squad ahead of their meeting with the Ravens (11-5), that won’t come till Friday at the earliest, though.
In addition, the Bills (13-3) officially announced the team signed running back Devonta Freeman to the practice squad as well. He’s also eligible to play vs. the Ravens, however, upon signing wide receiver Kenny Stills to their practice squad last week, Buffalo did not call him up from the taxi squad for their game vs. the Colts. That might be indicative of how the Bills would handle Freeman’s addition.
