Bills' Curtis Samuel: Cleared to play Sunday
Curtis Samuel (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.Samuel had been listed as questionable after he was a limited participant in practices throughout the week while nursing the pec injury, which kept him out for last Sunday's win over the Seahawks. The Buffalo Bills will be without top wideout Amari Cooper (wrist) in Week 9, potentially opening the door for Samuel to take on more snaps. However, while Cooper was out of the picture from Weeks 1 through 6 before arriving in a trade with Cleveland, Samuel wasn't a noteworthy fantasy producer, as he averaged 16.3 yards from scrimmage per contest and failed to find the end zone during that six-game stretch.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Deemed questionable for Week 9
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Curtis Samuel (pectoral) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.After sitting out the Week 8 win over the Seahawks, Samuel was a limited participant in the Bills' first two practices of the week and evidently isn't in line to do enough work at Friday's practice to fully convince the coaching staff that he'll be ready to go Sunday. Provided Samuel is able to maintain at least limited practice activity Friday, he should still have a decent chance at playing against the Dolphins, though the 28-year-old wideout probably won't be in store for a significant role on offense if he suits up. Through his first seven games with the Bills, Samuel has played more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps on just one occasion (in Week 5), and he's yet to earn more than four touches in any of his appearances.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Limited at practice
Head coach Sean McDermott said that Curtis Samuel (pectoral) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Buffalo Bills Radio Network reports.Samuel missed Buffalo's win over Seattle in Week 8 due to a pectoral injury, one which could reasonably force him out for another game this Sunday versus Miami. He was unable to practice in any fashion last week, so Samuel's ability to begin Week 9 prep as a partial participant is a step in the right direction.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Could be facing multi-week absence
Coach Sean McDermott relayed Friday that Curtis Samuel (pectoral) may be out "more than one week," but McDermott doesn't believe Samuel will go on injured reserve, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.Samuel has already been ruled out for Sunday's game in Seattle, and it sounds like he's far from a lock to return Sunday, Nov. 3 against the Dolphins in Week 9. He's unlikely to play a significant role even when healthy, as Samuel has exceeded 22 receiving yards only once for a Buffalo Bills passing game that likely will have even fewer targets to go around after trading for Amari Cooper last Tuesday.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Won't play Sunday
Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Curtis Samuel (pectoral) will be out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Maddy Glab of the Buffalo Bills' official site reports.Samuel didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a pectoral injury, with his next chance to see game action arriving Nov. 3 against the Dolphins. In his absence this weekend, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman are in line to lead the Bills' Week 8 WR corps, with Mack Hollins (shoulder) -- if available -- and presumably a practice-squad elevation or two on hand in reserve.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Absent from practice Thursday
Curtis Samuel (pectoral) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.Samuel remains sidelined due to a pectoral injury that forced him out of Buffalo's win over Tennessee in Week 7. He's trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Seahawks, but an absence on Samuel's part may not impact the Buffalo Bills offense too notably. Through seven games this season, Samuel has yet to rack up a 100 yards from scrimmage.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Misses practice with pec injury
Curtis Samuel didn't practice Wednesday due to a pectoral injury.Samuel left in the first quarter of Buffalo's Week 7 win over the Titans with what was deemed a shoulder injury, but it's his pectoral that kept him off the practice field Wednesday. Even if Samuel returns to practice prior to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, he isn't expected to be a key contributor, as he has only 12 catches for 92 yards this season.

Bills' Curtis Samuel: Three catches against Jets
Curtis Samuel caught three of four targets for 44 yards in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.Samuel's 44 receiving yards in the contest were a season high for the veteran. The 28-year-old wideout played just 25 of the Buffalo Bills 69 offensive snaps, behind Mack Hollins (46), Keon Coleman (44) and Khalil Shakir (26). Samuel will likely see his playing time take even more of a hit going forward with the Bills acquisition of Amari Cooper from a trade with the Browns on Tuesday. This muddying of the target distribution in Buffalo's passing attack should push Samuel further off the fantasy radar. The Bills are set to host the Titans in Week 7.
