The Buffalo Bills are just 90 minutes away from their highly anticipated international contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Superstar pass rusher Von Miller has been officially activated for the contest, giving the Bills Mafia their first look at him in a game since he suffered a season-ending ACL injury against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving day.
Before the contest, Bills head coach Sean McDermott had already ruled out Greg Rousseau, making Miller's official return even that much sweeter. Hours before the contest, the team announced a slew of key players would be out of the contest.
Bills inactive list
- S Damar Hamlin
- CB Christian Benford
- DE Greg Rousseau
- G Germain Ifedi
- T Alec Anderson
- DE Shaq Lawson
- DT Poona Ford
Jaguars inactive list
- WR Elijah Cooks
- CB Christian Braswell
- LB Devin Lloyd
- OL Cole Van Lanen
Observations
It's a good thing the team activated Miller as several pass rushers have been ruled out of the contest in Ford, Lawson, and Rousseau. We previously wrote about Miller's return and how he'll most likely be on a snap count.
Outside of the defensive line injuries, not having Benford in this contest most likely means it'll be up to Dane Jackson and Kaiir Elam to try and help shut down Trevor Lawrence and the passing attack of the Jaguars. This is Elam's first time being activated this season.
Unfortunately, Hamlin has been listed as a healthy scratch once again. With Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde being in full health, he's the odd man out with the current depth at the position.
Can Josh Allen and the offense continue to dominate, taking some pressure off the defense? Will Elam be able to come in and play at a high level? Only time will tell, luckily were just moments away from kickoff.

A huge boost, for sure.
