Ray Davis is still in concussion protocol, but #70 will be reporting as eligible.
The Buffalo Bills are headed into Divisional Round weekend with just one injury designation. The Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday evening with the winner advancing to the AFC Championship Game. The good news for the Bills is that they could, potentially, have their entire starting roster available.
On Friday, the Bills held their final full practice of the week, and the positive news was that Alec Anderson was upgraded to a full participant. Anderson, who reports eligible as the Bills’ sixth offensive lineman on a regular basis, has been dealing with a calf injury all week.
With temperatures predicted to be well below the freezing mark on Sunday, there could have been concern that a soft tissue injury would not be able to stay warm enough to keep from collecting further damage. However, after two limited days and now a full day of practice, Anderson has entered the weekend ready to go on Sunday.

The only Bills player with a injury designation is Ray Davis. The rookie running back took a hit to the head in last weekend’s playoff win over the Denver Broncos. Since then, he has been steadily working his way through the league’s concussion protocol.
Davis was seen on Thursday working with the special teams unit and in individual drills. While he was still listed as a limited participant on Friday, the league’s rules do allow for the Bills to give him a simulated workout on Saturday to determine if he can be cleared to play.
With a ‘questionable’ designation assigned to him after Friday’s practice, it would seem like that is the team’s plan.

Roster moves should be announced later on Saturday, and while there is no concern for Davis to be removed from the Bills’ 53-man roster, should they choose to elevate Frank Gore Jr., the only running back they have on their practice squad, it could be an indication of how well Davis did — or is expected to do — in his final evaluation.
