We are 90 minutes (more or less when this is published) from the kickoff between Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens. What is at stake tonight is the first of two seats at the AFC Championship Game table. The loser will not play a significant game until September. The winner has a chance to reach the Super Bowl.
The Bills and Ravens come into the game relatively healthy tonight, and although Buffalo had many players on the injury report this week, only one had an injury designation for tonight. Is this player active? Who else is a zero this week for both teams?
Here are the inactive players for tonight’s Divisional Round clash.
QB Jake Fromm
Fortunately, Buffalo doesn’t need Fromm to dress up tonight.
RB Antonio Williams
The undeveloped rookie invaded the hearts and minds of Bills fans with his 63-yard performance and two touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins at the end of the regular season. Although he was called up from the training team for this game, it was a precautionary measure. TJ Yeldon is active, as coach Sean McDermott said he would be at the beginning of the week.
TE Tyler Kroft
Buffalo’s second tight end earlier this year became the third tight end to end the season, with veteran Lee Smith serving as a reserve for Dawson Knox.
OL Jordan Devey
Devey was elevated to the list of 53 players when running back Zack Moss left for the reserve due to an ankle injury sustained last week.
DE Darryl Johnson
The sophomore man appeared on the injury report with a knee problem, so veteran Trent Murphy will be active for the first time since Buffalo played against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10.
LB Tyrel Dodson
The sophomore was a healthy scratch last week, and he’s a healthy scratch again this week.
CB Dane Jackson
Buffalo’s second training team call is their second inactive training team of the day. Like Williams, Jackson was called up only in the event of injury or illness.
Here are the Ravens’ inactive:
