‘While being active for 14 of the Bills’ 17 games this season, Jones has been on the field for just four offensive snaps and spends the vast majority of his time on special teams. Yeldon has been inactive since Week 5 when he recorded seven carries for 52 yards and added a 22-yard touchdown reception in a loss to the Tennessee Titans. It will likely be him or Williams in the mix with Freeman to fill Moss’ role. After spending much of the season on Buffalo’s practice squad, Williams exploded onto the scene with 12 carries for 63 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills’ Week 17 win over the Miami Dolphins.’
