Isiah Pacheco Injury Update

Pacheco (rib) was a full participant in practice all week long. He has been removed from the injury report and will play in the Divisional Round.

Ray Davis Injury Update

Davis (concussion) has logged three consecutive limited practices, and he remains in concussion protocol as the Divisional Round gets underway. The Bills are leaving the door open for Davis, who is questionable, to suit up against the Ravens. If active, he and Ty Johnson would co-exist behind James Cook, who has played quite well lately.

Carson Steele Injury Update

Steele (hip) was a full participant in practice this week. He will play on Saturday but should continue to operate behind Pacheco, Hunt, and Perine. Fantasy managers and bettors can avoid him in most formats.
