An AFC wild-card contender looks set to get a key player back for the final two games.

Bills tailback C.J. Spiller will be activated from injured reserve/designated for return, coach Doug Marrone said Friday, according to the club’s official Twitter feed.

Spiller is probable to face the Raiders in Oakland on Sunday, the club said.

The 27-year-old Spiller has missed the last seven games with a broken clavicle. A dual-threat back with top speed, Spiller has rushed for 287 yards on 69 carries and caught 14 passes for 109 yards and one touchdown for 8-6 Buffalo, which is one game out of the final wild-card spot.

Spiller’s return gives the Bills a strong hand in the backfield, with Fred Jackson, Anthony Dixon and Bryce Brown also capable performers.
