Newly acquired running back Dimitri Nance is active for the Green Bay Packers' game against the Buffalo Bills.

Nance was signed on Tuesday off the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad after starting running back Ryan Grant was placed on injured reserve with a right ankle injury that needs surgery.

The Packers were also without starting fullback Korey Hall (hip). Quinn Johnson took his place. Other notables out were cornerback Brandon Underwood (shoulder) and linebacker Desmond Bishop (hamstring).

With Bills linebacker Paul Posluszny out for a few weeks with a sprained right knee, Keith Ellison filled his spot in the starting lineup. Linebacker Reggie Torbor was also in the lineup after missing last week's game with a chest injury.
