The Buffalo Bills have lost Gabe Davis to a torn ACL, but may be getting back another receiver ahead of Saturday's divisional-round tilt against the top-seeded Denver Broncos.
Head coach Sean McDermott announced Davis' diagnosis on Monday, a day after Davis was carted off the field with the knee injury in Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Bills also announced Monday that they've opened the practice windows for wide receiver Curtis Samuel and defensive tackle Ed Oliver from injured reserve as they prepare for Saturday's game. Their designations open the door for either or both to play on Saturday.
Neither Davis nor Samuel were significant parts of Buffalo's offense this season. Davis tallied 12 catches for 129 yards and 1 touchdown in six games. Samuel posted 7 catches for 81 yards and 1 touchdown in six games, none of them starts.
The news of Oliver's potential return could be the most impactful of the bunch. Ankle and biceps injuries have limited Oliver to just three games this season. Without their starting defensive tackle, the Bills have surrendered 136.2 rushing yards per game, good for 28th in the NFL. A return this week would provide a salve for Buffalo's beleaguered run defense.
The injury news arrives as pressure mounts on quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills to deliver in a postseason that doesn't feature frequent playoff foil Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
