The Bills placed Shavers (ACL) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Shavers will miss the remainder of Buffalo's postseason run due to a torn ACL suffered during the team's wild-card round win over the Jaguars on Sunday. His injury leaves Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman as the only healthy options at wideout on the team's active roster, as Gabe Davis (knee) also suffered an ACL tear versus Jacksonville and was subsequentially placed on IR. Curtis Samuel (elbow) had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday and was listed as a full participant in the team's walkthrough practice, so he could be an option to come off IR and provide added depth for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Denver.

Head coach Sean McDermott announced Tuesday that Shavers sustained a torn ACL in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buffalo is currently left with just Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman as the lone healthy receivers on the 53-man roster, though Curtis Samuel (elbow) could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver. Given the timing of Shavers' ACL tear, his recovery from surgery is likely to extend into the 2026 season.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Shavers (knee) is being evaluated in the wake of Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shavers briefly left the field Sunday to have a knee injury checked out by trainers, but he managed to retake the field, finishing the game with one catch for 14 yards (two targets). Meanwhile, McDermott has confirmed that Gabe Davis (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear Sunday. If Shavers is able to get fully healthy in time to face Denver in the AFC divisional round Saturday, he will stand to handle an increased role on offense due to Davis' absence.

Shavers caught one of two targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Shavers returned to the game after having a knee injury checked out by trainers, but his only catch of the game came prior to his exit. The 26-year-old wide receiver has appeared in every game for the Bills since the start of the regular season. Barring a setback with his knee, Shavers will be available to fill his usual depth role on offense in the AFC divisional round Saturday at Denver, and he may be counted on even more than usual if teammate Gabe Davis can't recover from the knee injury he suffered Sunday.

Shavers (knee) was cleared to return to Sunday's wild-card game versus the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Shavers will return after leaving the contest in the first half with one catch for 14 yards. Coming into the playoffs, the 26-year-old caught 15 passes (on 23 targets) for 245 yards and one touchdown over 17 regular-season appearances.

Shavers exited Sunday's playoff game against the Jaguars with a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to leaving the contest, Shavers caught his only target for 14 yards. In his absence, Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks, Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman are the Bills' available WRs versus Jacksonville.

Shavers did not see a target while logging four offensive snaps in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills limited or held out many of their primary players ahead of the postseason, but that doesn't necessarily explain Shavers' decreased usage. All of Gabe Davis (70 offensive snaps), Joshua Palmer (63) and Keon Coleman (61) were on the field plenty, and Shavers has recently been jockeying with Davis and Palmer (along with Brandin Cooks) for wideout snaps behind Khalil Shakir, who dressed but didn't play Sunday. It's also telling that Shavers was asked to play his usual role on special teams, logging 12 snaps as part of that unit. Whatever the case may be, Shavers figures to still be part of the wideout rotation in the postseason, but it will be hard for fantasy managers to count on him for output, especially considering that he hasn't managed more than two catches or 36 receiving yards in a game since Week 11.

Shavers caught two of three targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old played the second-most snaps (42) of any Buffalo wideout during Sunday's loss, trailing just Khalil Shakir (56 snaps). Shavers also finished with the second-most receiving yards on the team, eclipsing 30 yards for the first time since the Week 11 win over the Buccaneers. Expect the San Diego State product to remain one of the Bills' top receiving options in the Week 18 matchup against the Jets.

Shavers caught one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Shavers recorded the third-most receiving yards on the Bills' during Sunday's win and has now played at least 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in four consecutive contests. In 15 appearances this season, the San Diego State product has caught 13 of 20 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain one of Buffalo's top wideouts in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Shavers played 34 of the Bills' 67 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 35-31 win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

The San Diego State product has now gone without a target in three of the Bills last four games. However, he still played the third-most offensive snaps amongst Buffalo wideouts during Sunday's loss, trailing Khalil Shakir (45) and Keon Coleman (38). Expect Shavers to continue playing a depth role in the Bills' receiving corps in the Week 16 matchup against the Browns.
