The Bills designated Crowder (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Crowder is thus cleared to resume practicing, just over three months after he suffered a fractured ankle in the Bills' Week 4 win over the Ravens. According to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, Crowder won't be added to the 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's wild-card game against the Dolphins, but he could be a candidate for activation ahead of the divisional round or AFC Championship Game, should the Bills advance that far. Crowder recorded six receptions for 60 yards on 13 targets through Buffalo's first four games before being sidelined with the injury.
