Bills' Star Lotulelei: Returns to team
Lotulelei (personal) rejoined the team Wednesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Bills' Star Lotulelei: Starts week limited
Lotulelei was listed as a limited participant Wednesday due to a toe injury ahead of Sunday's game in Tampa Bay.
The Bills came out of Monday's disastrous loss to the Patriots without any significant injuries, but those who roster Leonard Fournette or the Buffalo defense will want to keep tabs on Lotulelei's status throughout the week. He's a significant factor for a defense that can have trouble stopping the run at times, as evidenced by a game against the Colts in Week 12 when Jonathan Taylor ran all over the field on a Star-less defense.
