4 roster options for the Buffalo Bills after Von Miller’s knee injury

Buffalo Bills elevate players from the practice squad

The next option would be to elevate a player from the practice squad for the game against the New England Patriots. This likely would only happen if Rousseau or Epenesa were not able to play on Thursday night.

The Bills do have two options on their practice squad with Mike Love and Kingsley Jonathan as the two defensive ends on the practice squad. While Love hasn’t played much during the regular season, he is the most experienced as he has been with the team since basically the 2018 season when he was signed as an undrafted free agent.

The challenge with this option is that a team can elevate players from the practice squad only three times during the regular season before they become subject to waivers. This would open the door for a team to potentially claim that player before going back to the Bills’ practice squad.

The Bills have already used one of those games for Love as he was elevated for the game against the Lions. If Miller is forced to miss more than the next two games, the front office may face some challenges.
