Gilliam (groin) returned to the practice field on Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Gilliam has been sidelined since Aug. 7 with a groin injury, but his return to practice indicates he is trending in the right direction. Seeing as though he is the only fullback on Buffalo's roster, his presence alone allows them to expand their playbook with certain sets.

Rotowire
Gilliam (groin) should return to practice this week, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Gilliam first missed practice Monday and then was unable to take the field for the remainder of the week, including the team's preseason game against the Colts on Saturday. Although it's still not clear exactly when he'll return, it appears the Toledo product will be back in action sooner rather than later.

Gilliam (groin) will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Colts, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Nursing groin injury
Rotowire
Gilliam (groin) will not practice Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Gilliam's injury severity remains to be disclosed, so it will be worth monitoring his participation in practice ahead of Saturday's preseason contest against the Colts. The Bills don't have another fullback listed on the roster.
Gilliam (ankle) was a full participant during practice Thursday, and he does not carry a game status ahead of Saturday's contest versus Miami.
Gilliam did not practice Week 14 due to an ankle injury, causing him to miss his first game of the season Sunday against the Jets. The fullback then worked his way back as a limited participant during practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and he'll be good to go again for Saturday's divisional matchup. Gilliam has not recorded an offensive statistic since Week 6, though he should reprise his roles as a core special-teamer and blocker in the run game.
