Bills Boost Roster For Sunday’s Showdown, Activating Smoot, Spector, Jackson, And White
The Buffalo Bills (2-0) are set to face off against the Miami Dolphins (2-0) in a highly anticipated AFC East matchup on Sunday.
The Bills have been relatively healthy so far this season, but they did suffer a few injuries in their Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. Defensive end Greg Rousseau (ankle) and cornerback Dane Jackson (neck) both left the game and did not return.
However, the Bills have activated both players from the injury report and they are expected to play on Sunday. In addition, the team has also activated defensive tackle Brandin Bryant, tight end Tommy Sweeney, and wide receiver Jake Kumerow from the practice squad.
The Bills are now at full strength heading into their matchup with the Dolphins, and they will need all hands on deck to slow down Miami’s high-powered offense. The Dolphins are averaging 33 points per game this season, and they have a number of playmakers on both sides of the ball.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led the NFL in completion percentage last year, passing for 2,653 yards and 15 touchdowns. Running back Raheem Mostert has rushed for 239 yards and 3 touchdowns in two games this season, and wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are one of the most dynamic duos in the league.
The Bills’ defense will be tested on Sunday, but they are confident that they can get the job done. The Bills have one of the best pass-rushing attacks in the NFL, and they should be able to put pressure on Tagovailoa. The Bills also have a stout run defense, and they should be able to contain Mostert.
The Bills are considered to be the favorites in this game, but the Dolphins are a dangerous team. The Bills will need to be at their best on Sunday to get the win.
Bills Activate Smoot, Spector, Jackson, And White From Injury Report
The Bills have activated defensive end Shaq Lawson and cornerback Cam Lewis from the practice squad. Lawson has been dealing with a hamstring injury, while Lewis has been battling a groin injury.
The Bills also placed defensive end Boogie Basham on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Basham is expected to miss the next four to six weeks.
With the addition of Lawson and Lewis, the Bills now have a full complement of healthy players on their defense. The Bills will need all hands on deck to slow down the Dolphins’ high-powered offense on Sunday.
Bills Sign Guard Greg Mancz
The Bills have signed guard Greg Mancz to a one-year contract. Mancz was released by the Baltimore Ravens earlier this week.
Mancz is a veteran of seven NFL seasons and has started 55 games in his career. He is a versatile lineman who can play both guard and center.
The Bills signed Mancz to provide depth to their offensive line. The Bills have been hit by injuries on the offensive line this season, and Mancz should help to stabilize the unit.
Bills Waive Defensive Tackle Justin Zimmer And Cornerback Siran Neal
The Bills have waived defensive tackle Justin Zimmer and cornerback Siran Neal. Zimmer has played in one game for the Bills this season, while Neal has played in two games.
The Bills are waiving Zimmer and Neal to make room for Lawson and Lewis on the active roster. The Bills are carrying a total of 53 players on their active roster, which is the maximum allowed by the NFL.
Conclusion
The Bills are healthy and ready for the showdown with the Dolphins. The Bills are confident that they can get the win, but they know that the Dolphins are a dangerous team. The Bills will need to be at their best on Sunday to get the win.
