Christian Wade

Bills have activated WR John Brown from IR, but have put Brown, practice squad S Josh Thomas and RB Christian Wade on Res/COVID list.

The above players have been defined as close contacts with RB T.J. Yeldon, who was placed on Res/COVID list Sunday. Brown was reportedly close a return this week, but will now need to test negative in order to go Week 17. It's possible the Bills just holds out Brown until the first week of the playoffs, especially if there is nothing to play for in Week 17.
