    Justin Herbert (foot) has shed his walking boot.
    Herbert shed it for weight room work. It’s possible the 26-year-old still slaps it on another time or two in the days ahead, but it’s a clear sign he is headed in the right direction after going down two weeks ago. Setbacks happen all the time, but for the moment, Herbert is well on track to return to the practice field comfortably ahead of Week 1.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #1

    Curtis Samuel caught 2-of-2 targets for nine yards in the Bills’ AFC Divisional Round win over the Ravens.
    Samuel has been a positively volatile performer as of late, and while his two receptions on Sunday technically rank third on his team, the accomplishment is hardly worth writing home about. Samuel will once again be a boom/bust DFS option against the Chiefs next week.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #13
    Mack Hollins caught 1-of-2 targets for 12 yards in the Bills’ AFC Divisional Round win over the Ravens.
    Hollins has now gained first downs on eight of his last nine receptions since Week 16, while also being held under 35 receiving yards during that span. Hollins’ biggest contribution to the win was when he seemingly injured Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey on a screen-pass blocking play in which Hollins harshly drove Humphrey to the ground. Hollins can be expected to handle his typical two-to-three-target workload against the Chiefs next week.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #18
    Amari Cooper caught 0-of-1 targets in the Bills’ AFC Divisional Round win over the Ravens.
    Cooper was on-field for just 21-of-61 possible offensive snaps. His usage and results continue to confuse us. Although Cooper has dealt with wrist and back issues during his Bills tenure, he regularly practices in full which suggests the veteran wide receiver should at least be hitting a 50.0 percent snap offensive snap rate. Perhaps his great unveiling with take place against the Chiefs in next Sunday’s AFC Championship game.
  • BUF Tight End #86
    Dalton Kincaid caught 1-of-2 targets for 11 yards in the Bills’ AFC Divisional Round win over the Ravens.
    Kincaid was nearly a non-factor in a Bills’ passing game that sure could use a viable No. 2 threat to complement slot receiver Khalil Shakir. PFF tallies 19 total blocking snaps and just 12 receiving snaps for Kincaid. He has yet to give Sean McDermott a reason to change tactics though. Kincaid will attempt to redeem himself against the Chiefs’ potent defense in the AFC Championship.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #10
    Khalil Shakir caught 6-of-7 targets for 67 yards in the Bills’ AFC Divisional Round win over the Ravens.
    Shakir is the only Bills’ pass catcher to tally more than three receptions and/or 15 receiving yards, functioning as Allen’s clear-cut most trusted receiver. Shakir’s best play occurred on the Bills’ first offensive drive when he snuck past his coverage defender on a seam-stretching route before spinning around in time to make a leaping catch over the trailing Raven’s head. A few plays later, Shakir made a key block that preserved a rushing lane for Ray Davis on the latter’s two-yard touchdown. Shakir was expected to handle punt return duties with KR/PR Brandon Codrington (hamstring) inactive but the Ravens never punted. Shakir will play a key role against the Chiefs next week.
  • BUF Quarterback #17
    Josh Allen completed 16-of-22 passes for 127 yards and rushed 10 times for 20 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills’ 27-25, AFC Divisional Round win over the Ravens.
    Allen was his typically unstoppable self in scoring position, barreling in for two rushing touchdowns from inside the Ravens’ five-yard line. He connected with eight different pass catchers, only truly relying on slot receiver Khalil Shakir, whose 34-yard first-quarter reception is nearly three times as long as the next closest Bills pass catcher. Allen faces Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs next Sunday.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #7
    Rashod Bateman exited the AFC Divisional Round against the Bills after suffering an apparent injury.
    Bateman was hit high on a tackle by Terrel Bernard and remained down after the play, laying on his back. Ravens trainers escorted him off the field under his own power but it is unclear as to whether he will return.
  • BUF Defensive Back #7
    Bills CB Taron Johnson returned to the AFC Divisional Round against the Ravens after suffering an apparent shoulder injury.
    Johnson fell to the ground and slid multiple yards across the snowy field after trailing Isaiah Likely in coverage. Johnson was already grabbing at his shoulder before he came to a stop. The Bills’ star cornerback was able to return after being examined by the team’s medical staff.
  • BAL Tight End #88
    Ravens TE Charlie Kolar is questionable to return for the AFC Divisional Round against the Bills after suffering an arm injury.
    It is unclear when the rotational tight end suffered the injury but it is possible this is a re-injury. He recently dealt with an arm issue. Kolar is among the position’s better backups. Hopefully, he can return to play as the Ravens attempt a comeback against the Bills.
  • BAL Cornerback #44
    Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey exited the AFC Divisional Round against the Bills after suffering an apparent injury.
    Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins manhandled Humphrey on a screen-pass block, driving Humphrey down to the ground for a hard landing on his back. Humphrey squirmed briefly after the play before catching his breath in a labored squat. He was then taken to the blue medical tent by Ravens trainers.
