Bills' Curtis Samuel: Set to be let go by Bills
The Bills are in line to release Samuel, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Samuel was limited to seven catches in six 2025 regular-season games during his second campaign with the Bills. Now that Buffalo is moving on from Samuel -- who topped the 60-catch mark as recently as 2023 with the Commanders -- the 29-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere as a depth WR/return option.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Limited to one catch in return
Samuel secured one of three targets for two yards during Buffalo's 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday.
Samuel missed the final seven games of the regular season, as well as the Bills' wild-card win over Jacksonville, due to an elbow injury, but he managed to return from IR in time to face off against Denver. With all of Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) having been placed on IR in advance of the AFC divisional round, Samuel got a chance to handle an increased role on offense, playing 44 percent of the offensive snaps. Unsurprisingly, after he managed only a 7-81-1 line on nine targets across six regular-season appearances earlier in the year, he was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. Though Samuel remains under contract for one more year, Buffalo has a potential out in his deal this offseason for only $3.45 million in dead cap.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Back in action Saturday
Samuel (elbow) is active for Saturday's divisional-round game at Denver, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Samuel thus will be available to Buffalo's offense for the first time since Week 11 after a lengthy IR stint, and the timing of his activation couldn't have come at a better time after all of Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) landed on injured reserve in the past week. Along with Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks, Keon Coleman and Mecole Hardman, Samuel will be one of the options at wide receiver available to QB Josh Allen, but he mustered only a 7-81-1 line on nine targets in six appearances earlier this season.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Activated from IR
Buffalo activated Samuel (elbow) from injured reserve Friday.
Samuel remains listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos, but his activation would seem to indicate Samuel will be ready to play. With Joshua Palmer (ankle) placed on injured reserve last week and both Gabe Davis (knee) and Tyrell Shavers (knee) lost to season-ending injuries last Sunday against the Jaguars, Samuel's return will be big news for the Bills. If cleared to play, Samuel will slide into the wideout mix alongside Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Could return Saturday
Samuel (elbow) will practice in full Thursday and will be listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
The 29-year-old from Ohio State has missed the Bills' last eight games due to an elbow injury, but following a week of full practice sessions, he's got a chance to return for the divisional round. Across six appearances this season, Samuel has caught seven of nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown while also accumulating 223 kick return yards. If Samuel is added to Buffalo's active roster in time to play Saturday, he'll likely operate as one of the team's top wideouts, as Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) are all on IR.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Logs full practice Tuesday
Samuel (elbow) was a full participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Samuel has been sidelined for the Bills' last eight games, including Sunday's wild-card win against the Jaguars, due to an elbow injury. His full participation Tuesday is an encouraging sign and puts Samuel on track to being activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. The return would be timely, given that both Tyrell Shavers and Gabe Davis tore their ACLs against Jacksonville.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Cleared to practice Tuesday
The Bills designated Samuel (elbow/neck) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
Samuel is scheduled to practice Tuesday in some fashion for the first time since Week 11, after missing the last eight games. Given the length of his layoff, Samuel may not have a realistic shot of playing in Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver. However, if he is available this weekend, Samuel could play meaningful snaps right off the bat after Tyrell Shavers suffered a knee injury and Gabe Davis tore his ACL tear in the wild-card round.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Practice window opening
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Samuel's (elbow) 21-day practice window is expected to be opened this week, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Samuel has been on injured reserve since Nov. 28, but he will be eligible to rejoin his teammates at practice as the Bills prepare to travel to Denver for an AFC divisional-round game Saturday. Gabe Davis (knee) tore his ACL in the wild-card win over the Jaguars, and Tyrell Shavers suffered a knee injury that is still being evaluated, so if Samuel proves healthy enough to return this weekend, Samuel could have a meaningful role in a receiving corps that also includes Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman.
