Buffalo is getting reinforcements.
The Bills activated defensive tackle Ed Oliver and receiver Curtis Samuel from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the Denver Broncos, the team announced Friday.
Buffalo also elevated receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and running back Frank Gore Jr. from the practice squad.
Oliver tore his bicep in Week 3, and recorded three sacks and 10 tackles in three games this season. A longtime cornerstone of Buffalo's interior defensive line, Oliver was drafted ninth overall by the Bills in 2019.
Hardman Jr. and Samuel are key additions to the Bills' banged-up receiver group, which is down Gabe Davis, Joshua Palmer and Tyrell Shavers.
Samuel had 7 receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown in 2025. Hardman only played two games this season and was primarily used as a kick returner, recording no offensive receptions.
Gore Jr. was called up for last week's 27-24 wild-card win over Jacksonville, recording one reception with no rushing attempts.
The Bills can advance to their second consecutive AFC Championship game with a win in Denver on Saturday.
