Anderson was hired by the Bengals as an assistant wide receivers coach Monday, indicating his retirement as a player, Tyler Dragon of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson last played during the 2017 season when he suited up in five games for the Bills and recorded three tackles. The 34-year-old will aim to help the Bengals' rebuild.

Anderson injured his shoulder during Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is considered questionable to return.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson appeared in just five contests throughout the regular season with the Bills, so his potential absence wouldn't have much of an impact on the team's defense.

Anderson (forearm) doesn't appear on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, David Newton of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson played 16 snaps on special teams in his return from injured reserve but didn't take a single rep on defense. Expect more of the same Sunday.

Anderson (forearm) was officially activated from injured reserve Thursday, Mike Rodak of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was originally placed on IR in early October with a fractured forearm and was designated to return mid-December. He likely wouldn't have been activated if he wasn't going to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins, which is a must-win game for the Bills in order to stay in postseason contention. However, Anderson won't be much of an IDP prospect since he's almost exclusively a special-teams player.

The Bills designated Anderson (forearm) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson, who was placed on IR prior to Week 5, will now be able to resume practicing with the team. The veteran defensive back will presumably help provide depth in the Bills' secondary assuming he gets ultimately gets activated off the IR-R.

Anderson (forearm) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Joe Buscaglia of 7 ABC Buffalo reports.

EDGE Analysis

He needs surgery after breaking his forearm in the Bills' win over the Falcons on Sunday, so the special teams standout will now apparently miss the rest of the season, unless he works out an injury settlement with the team.

Anderson will need forearm surgery after getting hurt in Sunday's win over the Falcons, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson hasn't been seeing time on defense, but he's a good special teams player and the Bills will feel the loss there. Anderson is out indefinitely.

Anderson left Sunday's game against the Falcons with an arm injury and won't return.

EDGE Analysis

The depth safety doesn't play much outside of special teams situations, and now he'll shift his focus to getting healthy for a Week 5 matchup with the Bengals.

Anderson (foot) was able to practice fully after being limited during Thursday's session.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like the depth safety will be available for the Week 1 matchup against the Jets, where he'll provide his most value to the Bills' special teams efforts.

Anderson (foot) has been listed as a limited participant for the second straight practice Thursday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

We expect Anderson to play Sunday against the Jets. The Bills will be relying on his special teams prowess, as they have a lot of new faces on their roster, which trickles down to new players being used on special teams.
