Buffalo Bills veterans reported to training camp on Tuesday, which means football is finally here! However, it also means that it's almost time for the team to make critical roster moves to get everything ready for the regular season in September.
The Bills still have a few more weeks before they need to start making major roster decisions, but they did make one on Tuesday with wide receiver Tyrell Shavers. Buffalo placed him on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Shavers tore his ACL in the Bills' wild-card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in January. It's only been six months since Shavers' injury, and usually ACLs take nine months to a full year to come back from.
Since Shavers is on the PUP list, he can participate in all team activities except for practices until he is activated. If he remains on the PUP list by the time the Bills reduce their roster to 53 players, he will have to miss at least four games in the regular season.
The 26-year-old receiver played in all 17 games for the Bills last season, recording 15 receptions for 245 yards and one touchdown. Even though Shavers didn't have the most productive performance during the regular season, he was a fan favorite in the preseason last year.
In three preseason games, Shavers recorded six receptions for 123 yards and one touchdown, which caused many fans to become attached to him.
Hopefully, Shavers will return from his injury this season, giving the Bills a boost toward the playoffs.
