A familiar Buffalo Bills receiver, Tyrell Shavers, is officially on the comeback trail, with head coach Joe Brady announcing the team has opened his 21-day practice window this week. This is a massive step for Shavers, who has been sidelined since January.
From Wild Card Win to Rehab Grind
Shavers tore his ACL in the Bills’ wild-card victory over the Jaguars last January. Talk about a tough break, right? After undergoing surgery to repair the torn ligament, he has been grinding through rehab, working his way back to this point. It’s been a long road, but seeing him back on the practice field is exactly what Bills fans needed to hear.
That 69-Yard Score and What Comes Next
For those who might need a refresher, Shavers isn’t just another name. This guy, a former undrafted free agent from San Diego State who started his college career at Alabama, slowly but surely earned his spot on the Bills over the past two seasons. And get this: he scored on his very first NFL touch, a wild 69-yard catch and run in a regular season win against the Jets. That’s the kind of magic Bills fans remember. In 2025, he really started to emerge, hauling in 15 passes for 245 yards and a score, playing on 38.9% of the offensive snaps. Now, the Bills have three weeks to figure out how quickly Shavers can go from practicing to being back on the field, playing in a game. The clock is ticking for the Bills, who now have a three-week window to decide if Shavers is ready to jump from the practice field back onto the active roster. Bills fans, you know what a healthy Shavers can bring. Keep an eye on those injury reports, because that first touch magic could be back on the field very soon.
