Roster Changes
The game was originally supposed to be played on Sunday, but was postponed to Monday due to COVID-19 concerns within the Titans organization. As a result of the postponement, both teams had to make significant changes to their rosters.
The most notable change for the Chiefs is that they have moved quarterback Matt Moore from the practice squad to the active roster. Moore will serve as the backup to starter Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs also added two new players to their practice squad: wide receiver Gehrig Dieter and offensive lineman Yasir Durant.
Meanwhile, the Bills made a series of changes to their roster in anticipation of the game. First, they activated wide receiver Andre Roberts from injured reserve. Roberts had been out since Week 1 with a knee injury. The Bills also promoted linebacker Corey Thompson and defensive end Mike Love from the practice squad. Finally, they released offensive lineman Ryan Bates and linebacker Deon Lacey.
Schedule Changes
