Eddie Yarbrough remains the top reserve defensive end, with Nate Orchard active as the fourth defensive end.OT Ike BoettgerOT Conor McDermottThe Bills continue to roll with three offensive tackles on game day, leaving starters Dion Dawkins and Jordan Mills backed up by veteran Marshall Newhouse. G Wyatt TellerThe Bills’ fifth-round pick has been a healthy scratch all year. John Miller and Vladimir Ducasse remain the starting guards.TE Logan ThomasThe Bills continue to deploy three tight ends, but this time it’s Thomas out instead of Khari Lee.
