DiMarco was limited during Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

DiMarco briefly became a surprise option in the rushing attack Sunday against the Lions, as the Bills were down all four running backs before Keith Ford was able to make a quick return following his minor scare. The veteran DiMarco did see his first carry -- a nice nine-yard power run -- but that may be it for him offensively this season. In seven NFL campaigns, that's only the fourth time he's toted the rock.

DiMarco (ankle) will be active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

DiMarco's availability comes as no surprise as he was deemed likely to play heading into the weekend. He could see a slight uptick in snaps with Mike Tolbert (hamstring) sidelined, though LeSean McCoy and Travaris Cadet figure to lead the backfield in touches.

DiMarco (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the patriots but expected to play, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

DiMarco rarely gets offensive touches, but he's a skilled blocker and that's what he's kept around for in Buffalo. If he suffers a setback and can't play, though, the Bills may have to get creative since LeSean McCoy (knee) and Mike Tolbert (hamstring) are both dealing with injuries ahead of Sunday's game, leaving Travaris Cadet as the lone healthy running back.

DiMarco (ankle) is not practicing Thursday, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DiMarco practiced fully Wednesday even though he was listed on the injury report, so perhaps this is just scheduled maintenance for a veteran with a minor injury. If it's worse than that, the Bills would have issues to deal with since they only have five running backs/fullbacks on the roster and three of them missed practice Thursday.

DiMarco will sign a four-year, $8.5 million contract with the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

DiMarco hasn't contributed much in the way of measured stats the past few years, recording just 20 receptions for 162 yards and three touchdowns while playing in all 32 games the past two seasons. That being said he's a great blocker and was a large factor in the Falcons offense this past season. He'll be a large help to LeSean McCoy and Tyrod Taylor now that he'll be in Buffalo.

DiMarco (shoulder) fully participated in Friday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

DiMarco was limited in previous practices throughout the week, but was able to get a full one in Friday. He has no injury status listed for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, so he should be expected to take the field.

DiMarco had the best season of his career, catching 13 balls for 110 yards and two touchdowns for the Falcons in 2015.

EDGE Analysis

More importantly, he played an integral role leading the way for Devonta Freeman, who finished the season tied with three other running backs for the most rushing touchdowns (11) on the season. Freeman finished fourth in the league in rushing, and a lot of that was due to DiMarco opening holes for the agile back. The pair will anchor Atlanta's ground game for the foreseeable future.

DiMarco came out of nowhere to score two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Colts, catching three of four targets for 21 yards.

EDGE Analysis

It's a shame DiMarco's moment in the sun came in a losing cause. Don't be surprised if the fullback falls back into obscurity, as he has just nine touches all season.

Besides clearing a path for running backs, DiMarco recorded nine catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in 2014. The jack-of-all-trades also recorded four tackles on special teams and ran back a short kickoff for 21 yards. DiMarco will be an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason, so it seems likely the team will resign him.

DiMarco caught three balls for 35 yards in Thursday's shellacking of the Buccaneers. DiMarco caught all three balls thrown his way, but as a fullback who only caught eight passes all of last season, don't expect a lot more looks from Matt Ryan. Roddy White (hamstring) will likely return in Week 4, also limiting DiMarco's opportunities.
