Wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, who is recovering from a torn ACL suffered during Buffalo's playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in January, was the lone player to begin camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
"Tyrell Shavers is PUP so he's the only one that won't be out there today," offensive coordinator Joe Brady said before practice. "There will be some guys that will be on a limited rep count."
That means the Bills are beginning training camp with nearly their entire roster available, a welcome change after injuries piled up late last season.
The news represents a significant turnaround from the offseason, when general manager Brandon Beane said several players were still working their way back from surgeries . Players including Michael Hoecht, DeWayne Carter, Landon Jackson and Jordan Hancock all participated in Wednesday's opening practice, though some worked on limited snap counts.
Tyrell Shavers is working his way back from torn ACL
Shavers suffered the injury on a punt coverage play during Buffalo's wild-card victory over Jacksonville on Jan. 11.
Despite tearing his ACL, the 6-foot-4 receiver returned to the game after halftime and finished with one catch for 14 yards while playing more than half of Buffalo's offensive snaps.
Further testing after the game confirmed the torn ACL, ending one of the Bills' most unlikely breakout seasons.
Shavers emerged as one of Buffalo's feel-good stories in 2025 after being released during final roster cuts in both 2023 and 2024 before finally earning a spot on the 53-man roster.
He went on to play in all 17 regular-season games, catching 23 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown while becoming one of the Bills' top special teams contributors. His first NFL touchdown came on a 43-yard pass from Josh Allen against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.
There is no timetable for Shavers' return, but because he opened camp on the active/PUP list, he can return to practice at any point during training camp once medically cleared.
