He appeared in five regular-season games last season, recording two tackles (all solo), and also appeared in the Bills' two playoff games, recording two tackles against the Kansas City Chiefs. He finished second in the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award, receiving more first-place votes than eventual winner Joe Flacco.
