Smoot (wrist) has been deemed active ahead of Sunday's game against Detroit. Smoot spent the last four games on injured reserve with a wrist injury. But, he was activated Saturday and will be ready to play at his earliest possible opportunity. Across seven appearances this season, Smoot has logged 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks. He should once again rotate behind starting defensive ends Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa.

Smoot (wrist) has been activated from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, but he remains questionable to suit up. Smoot has been sidelined on IR since Week 9 due to a wrist injury, but he'll have the chance to return to the gridiron in this matchup against one of the best offenses in the NFL. He's logged seven appearances for the Bills this season, racking up 12 tackles (eight solo), 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday the team is designating Smoot (wrist) for return from injured reserve, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports. Smoot has been sidelined on IR since Week 9 due to a wrist injury, making Sunday's road matchup against the Lions his earliest possible return date. He can be activated to the 53-man roster at any point during his 21-day practice window.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Smoot is set to undergo wrist surgery and will be placed on injured reserve, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Smoot failed to record a stat across 22 defensive snaps before exiting the Bills' Week 9 win over the Dolphins with a wrist injury. McDermott's comments Monday indicate the issue is serious, and Smoot will be forced to miss Buffalo's next four games if he moves to IR as expected. Von Miller will likely see increased work as a rotational edge rusher while Smoot is sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Smoot (toe) is trending towards not playing in Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Smoot was unable to suit up for the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals, and it now appears his toe issue could hold him out for the second consecutive game Thursday. If Smoot is unable to go in Week 2, expect Von Miller and Casey Toohill to see increased work as rotational pass rushers.
