Bills' Shaq Lawson (ankle) lands on the injured reserve

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Shaq Lawson (ankle) has been placed on the injured reserve.

What It Means:

Lawson was carted off with an ankle injury in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, and its little surprise that the 23-year-old won't be back in action this year, especially with the Bills' playoff hopes quickly dwindling.

The Bills rank 14th in numberFire's Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) per play metric, and numberFire's models give them a 17.3% chance of making the playoffs.
