Oliver (biceps/knee) is expected to resume practicing with the Bills this week, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Once the Bills officially designate Oliver for return from injured reserve, the Bills will have 21 days to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. Provided that Oliver can practice in at least a limited capacity this week, he may have a chance at being activated ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. The defensive tackle was initially placed on IR on Oct. 28 due to a torn biceps, and Oliver is also recovering from meniscus surgery on his knee. He finished the regular season with 12 tackles, 3.0 sacks and one forced fumble over three appearances.
