Shavers reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Shavers was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans, failing to record any stats while playing 16 offensive snaps and eight snaps with the special-teams unit. If Khalil Shakir (ankle) remains unavailable in Week 6, Shavers could be elevated again for the team's matchup with the Jets on Monday Night Football.

Rotowire
The Bills elevated Shavers from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.
Despite a strong training camp, Shavers was unable to crack the Bills' initial 53-man roster, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. Shavers will provide depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Texans after top pass catcher Khalil Shakir was ruled out due to an ankle injury.

Tyrell Shavers: Brought back to practice squad
Rotowire
Shavers was signed to the Bills' practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Shavers was one of the brightest performers throughout training camp and the preseason, but in the end the Bills went with experience as they filled out their five-man receiving corps with veterans Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The Bills have three receivers on the practice squad -- Deon Cain and KJ Hamler are the other two -- but Shavers likely offers the most upside as an offensive player if one of the regulars goes down in the regular season.

Tyrell Shavers: Cut by Bills
Rotowire
Shavers was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports.
Shavers signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January, reeling in four receptions for 28 yards during the preseason. The wide receiver spent the entirety of the 2023 season with Buffalo's practice squad, and if he clears waivers, he will likely begin the 2024 campaign with the practice squad once again.

Bills' Tyrell Shavers: Turning heads at camp
Rotowire
Shavers has been making a good impressions throughout camp, Dorian Alerte of the Bills' official site reports. Said coach Sean McDermott this week, "One of the first players in the building, one of the last to leave. Knows what we're doing offensively, systematically. When you look up consistent in the dictionary like his face shows up in my mind because he's so consistent, and at a young age. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for that."
The undrafted free agent from 2023 is still far down the depth chart, but the Bills don't really seem married to anybody outside the top three of Khalil Shakir, second-round rookie Keon Coleman and veteran Curtis Samuel. Shavers offers good special-teams assets, so we'll see if he can start to leapfrom some of the folks ahead of him throughout the preseason.
