McDermott said he’s taking a “similar approach to last week” in regards to running back Ty Johnson who missed the Wild Card game and hasn’t practiced this week with an ankle injury. Johnson hasn’t been ruled out and the team is planning to evaluate him more leading up to the game. He will be limited in Thursday’s practice and questionable for the game.

Buffalo opened up the practice windows of defensive tackle Ed Oliver (bicep) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow) this week. Oliver has been limited Tuesday and Wednesday, while Samuel has been a full participant both days.

Oliver will be limited again Thursday and questionable to play at Denver. Samuel will be a full participant and also questionable.

Safety Damar Hamlin (pectoral), who had his practice window opened last week, is expected to be a full participant and questionable for the game.

Linebacker Terrel Bernard is questionable, too.

Buffalo’s final injury report with game designations will be posted following Thursday’s practice.
