Hancock (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Bills on Wednesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Hancock has been on IR since late September while recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2 versus Detroit. The cornerback had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, and if he isn't activated in that time frame, he will remain on IR for the rest of the 2026 campaign.
