The Buffalo Bills are going to be going up against one of the best defensive lines in the NFL when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccanneers tomorrow in Raymond James Stadium. However, they did get some good news on Saturday as starting guard Jon Feliciano was activated off injured reserve.
Feliciano went on injured reserve prior to the game in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has since missed the last five games.
Buffalo Bills will have their best five offensive linemen available in Week 14
The offensive line has been a work in progress almost the entire season as the Bills have had to shuffle players around due to injuries and under-performance. During the five games Feliciano has missed, the Bills were also without Spencer Brown for three games, which created even more challenges for this group, particularly protecting Josh Allen.
On Sunday, they will likely have their best starting five with Jon Feliciano between Dion Dawkins and Mitch Morse with Daryl Williams at the other guard position and rookie Spencer Brown at starting right tackle.
These starting five have only played two games together all year, back in Week 5 and Week 6 against the Chiefs and Titans. These two games were also some of the best the offense has looked all year as Allen threw for over 300 yards in each game and had six touchdowns to one interception.
He has only had one 300 yard passing game (Week 10 against the Jets) and one game with over three passing touchdowns (Week 12 against the Saints) since then.
This week is going to be a challenge for the Buffalo Bills, and particularly the offensive line. The Bucs have some excellent players on their defensive line like Vita Vea, Ndamukong Suh, and Shaquil Barrett. However, Josh Allen should feel a little better knowing what the offensive line will look like on Sunday and it can only help his chances of having a good game.
