The Buffalo Bills are entering this game relatively healthy as defensive tackle Star Lotulelei and right tackle Spencer Brown are active for the first time in a few weeks. Lotulelei was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list prior to the New York Jets game in Week 10 and has missed the last three games.

As for Brown he missed the first two games after the bye week due to a back injury and returned in Week 10 against the New York Jets. However, he was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list the week after and has missed the past two games.

The return of Spencer Brown will be a big boost for the offensive line that will still be missing Jon Feliciano, who was not activated before today’s game.

Marquez Stevenson and Isaiah McKenzie are both inactive for the Buffalo Bills

The big surprise for the Buffalo Bills tonight is that both Marquez Stevenson and Isaiah McKenzie are inactive leaving a big question mark in terms of who is returning kicks against the New England Patriots. McKenzie has been the primary returner for the Bills before last week’s game against the Saints when the team made a switch to the rookie Stevenson.

When looking at this roster, the best guess is that Taiwan Jones would be returning kickoffs while Micah Hyde will be back returning punts on a night where the wind is going to play a huge factor.

A.J. Klein added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list

On the defensive side of the ball, the Buffalo Bills are going to be without their key backup at the linebacker position as A.J. Klein was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier today. The Bills did call up Joe Giles-Harris from the practice squad and he is active but any playing time Klein would have gotten now likely goes to Tyrel Dodson.

Zack Moss active for the first time in three weeks for the Buffalo Bills

The big news on the offensive side of the ball is that running back Zack Moss is active for tonight’s game against the New England Patriots. The second-year running back has been a healthy scratch the past two weeks with Matt Breida active.

In a game where the weather may not allow much of a passing game, Moss could be a big part of this offense as the Buffalo Bills try to establish a running game.
