“It’s really great that he was able to get back in the game and play like that,” McDermott said.

In 2025, Shavers stepped into a larger role with the Bills after being named to the team’s 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He appeared in all 17 games during the regular season, recording 23 catches for 245 yards and one touchdown.

Buffalo also announced Monday that wide receiver Gabe Davis tore his ACL against the Jaguars.

There could be help at wide receiver this week, as the Bills have given Curtis Samuel more practice time. The team still has Mecole Hardman Jr., Christian Wilkerson and Stephen Gosnell on the practice squad.
