Gabe Davis tore his ACL and won't be able to help in any of the remaining playoff run.
The Bills were left with just four active roster WRs with that news: Khalil Shakir , Keon Coleman , Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks .
They added a bit of depth to the practice squad on Tuesday: The Bills announced they have signed Kristian Wilkerson .
Wilkerson is a 29-year old, 6-foot-1 receiver who played his college ball at Southeast Missouri State.

Wilkerson spent most of this offseason with the Bills, and then he opened the campaign on Buffalo's practice squad.
He ended up with the Tennessee Titans for the last two months of the season, also on the practice squad, before being waived just before Christmas.
Now, Wilkerson is one of the Bills' three options to be elevated Saturday as a WR5 to take on the Denver Broncos .
The Buffalo practice squad also includes receivers Stephen Gosnell and Mecole Hardman .
The general assumption has been that Hardman will be the guy, but that won't be known for sure until late in the week.
