Garrett Wilson - Reportedly clear for Week 10 Wilson (concussion) reportedly cleared the concussion protocol and is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Bills, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Impact Wilson sat out last Sunday in Kansas City due to a concussion that he sustained one week prior, but he was able to practice fully Friday before being listed as questionable for Week 10, signaling that he was closing in on completing the protocol for head injuries. Following Rapoport's report, that seemingly has come to pass, and his status for Sunday's matchup will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Impact Payne was moved to IR just before the start of the season due to a bone bruise in his knee. He was designated to return Nov. 4 and was a full participant in all three practices this week.

Jordan Hancock - No longer on IR The Bills activated Hancock (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he is questionable to face the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Hancock suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against Detroit and was subsequently placed on IR. He was designated to return Nov. 4 and is now eligible to return to action after being activated Saturday. Hancock was a full participant in all three Buffalo practices this week, so he seems to have a good chance of being active Sunday.

Tyrell Shavers - Will remain on PUP list The Bills did not activate Shavers (knee) from the reserve/PUP list, and he will not be available for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Shavers drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Jets after logging a trio of full practices during Week 10 prep. However, he was not activated from the PUP list before the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline Saturday, so he will have to wait at least one more week before making his 2026 debut. Shavers' next chance to play is Week 11 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 22.
