The Buffalo Bills are enhancing their roster for the final regular season game against the New England Patriots by elevating two players from their practice squad. Interior offensive lineman Will Clapp and defensive end Casey Toohill have been called up for the January 5 matchup at Gillette Stadium. With the Bills securing the AFC's No. 2 seed, many starters are expected to rest during this game.
The absence of Amari Cooper and the need to give Khalil Shakir a break means rookie Keon Coleman and veteran Mack Hollins are likely to see significant playing time. Curtis Samuel's status remains uncertain after limited practices, but his return would bolster the receiving corps.
Buffalo signed quarterback Mike White to the 53-man roster, ensuring he serves as the backup to starter Josh Allen, who will be replaced by Mitch Trubisky shortly into the game. Clapp is anticipated to fill in at center or guard, while Toohill's elevation allows the team to rest key edge rushers Greg Rousseau and AJ Epenesa ahead of the playoffs.
