Ed Oliver is back just in time.
The Buffalo Bills play in Denver against the Broncos on Saturday in the AFC's Divisional Round of the playoffs. Oliver will be there.
On Friday, the Bills activated Oliver from Injured Reserve.
He should be active on Saturday.
Oliver played in just the first three games of the season before tearing his biceps.
When Oliver was eventually diagnosed with that, the report was that he'd only be available, possibly, in the playoffs.
Well, here he is.

Oliver was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by Buffalo.
In 95 career games with the Bills, Oliver has 243 tackles and 30.0 sacks.
This season's Bills have had a really tough time stopping the run. Oliver will be a big boost on that front.
The Broncos will still try to run rookie RJ Harvey early and often, but the presence of Oliver should help Buffalo.
Oliver wasn't the only activation on Friday. The Bills also brought back Curtis Samuel, who will be a huge boost to the receiving group to help out Josh Allen in outscoring the Broncos.
