Russell inked a one-year deal with the Bills on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Russell played for the Buccaneers in 2017, playing in 14 games and drawing seven starts. He finished the season strong, racking up two sacks in the team's final two games, and should have a legitimate chance of making the Bills' final roster if he performs well in training camp

Russell (shoulder) logged one solo tackle -- a sack -- in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

The rotational defensive end finished the season on a high note, notching a sack in each of his last two contests despite fighting through a shoulder injury. The 25-year-old Russell also logged at least one tackle in each of his last six games, and he posted career bests in total stops (17), solo tackles (13) and sacks (2.0) in 2017. An impending restricted free agent, it's likely the Buccaneers extend Russell a qualifying offer at the minimum tender given his potential (24.5 tackles for loss, including 9.5 sacks, in four college campaigns) and solid showing over limited snaps this past season.

Russell (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even as a rotational defensive end, Russell has played in over 30 defensive snaps in eight of his last nine games, but he's posted just 12 tackles (nine solo). With Robert Ayers (shoulder) inactive Sunday, expect Russell to play a high snap count.

EDGE Analysis

Russell was a full practice participant Thursday and Friday and appears on track to play Sunday's season finale. The 25-year-old should serve his usual role as a rotational defensive end against the Saints, assuming he is able to play.

Russell (shoulder) totaled two tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The backup end logged 35 snaps with Robert Ayers (shoulder) sidelined. Russell was his first of the season, and he pushed his career-high tackle total to 16 with his pair of stops. The 25-year-old could see expanded opportunity once again in Week 17 if Ayers is forced to sit out the regular-season finale.

EDGE Analysis

Russell was limited at practice Thursday and Friday but appears to be a full go for the game Sunday. He'll backup starting defensive ends William Gholston and Patrick O'Connor.

EDGE Analysis

Russell wasn't on the Buccaneers' injury report until logging limited practices on both Thursday and Friday, so his status for Sunday's tilt remains up in the air. If he's unable to play Sunday, Will Clark could see additional reps at defensive end behind William Gholston and Patrick O'Connor.

Russell (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

The rotational defensive end was not on Wednesday's injury report, so he may have tweaked the shoulder at some point in Thursday's session. Russell's presence would be particularly valued in Sunday's tilt against the Panthers if starter Robert Ayers, who's missed the first two days of Week 16 prep with a shoulder injury of his own, can't suit up. The final injury report of the week following Friday's session should shed more definitive light on what direction Russell is trending in.

Russell (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 14 battle with the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

The reserve defensive end had been trending in the right direction towards the end of the practice week, and this report officially confirms his availability. Russell will slot back in as a rotational player Sunday, as starting defensive end Robert Ayers (concussion) is active and making his return from a two-game absence.

Russell (knee) returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year defensive end is thus trending in the right direction to take the field against the Lions in Week 14. Russell would slot back into a reserve role if he's able to suit up, as starter Robert Ayers, who'd missed the last two games due to a concussion, has cleared the league-mandated protocol for head injuries.
