Shavers will need to recover from a torn ACL suffered in January during Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars before he has any chance of contributing in 2026. The timing and severity of the injury will almost certainly sideline Shavers to begin the upcoming campaign, and lost offseason reps could hinder his chances of carving out a role under new coach Joe Brady. Despite the setback, Shavers was a consistent rotational presence in 2025, appearing in all 17 regular-season games and posting a career-best 15-245-1 line on 23 targets. His ability to regain form after injury will be key to reestablishing his place in the Bills offense.
