The Buffalo Bills thought Elijah Moore would be a key contributor for them this season after signing him in free agency in the offseason.
Instead, he's suiting up for their playoff opponent on Saturday, the Denver Broncos.
Moore was elevated from the practice squad for the AFC Divisional Round.
He's already been helpful to the Broncos this week, sharing what he knows about Buffalo.
“I did all I can in meetings," Moore told the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. "They asked me questions. Whatever they asked, I gave it to them.”

Why Elijah Moore is playing for Broncos after Bills cut?
The Bills cut Moore in November because he wasn't contributing enough and because they wanted a different WR on their roster.
Buffalo's release of Moore coincided with their signing of Brandin Cooks.
At least on the Cooks side of things, that has worked out well.
But they're missing Moore this week as their WR depth chart is particularly shorthanded.
The irony here is greater, too, because the Broncos don't have any wideout injuries. They didn't have to elevate Moore for Saturday's game.
It seems they're doing him a solid and giving him a little chance at revenge against his former team after helping out with some intel during the week.
