  "account": "Orchard Park, New York - In preparation for their Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams, the Buffalo Bills have elevated two players from their practice squad. The two players called up are defensive lineman Phidarian Mathis and wideout Trent Sherfield Sr. Both players have previous experience with the team, having spent the offseason with Buffalo. Mathis, 28, re-signed with the Bills in the offseason after joining the team partway through last season, while Sherfield Sr., 30, has been with the club twice over the past two seasons. The team's decision to bring in these players is due to injuries at multiple positions on the roster. The two elevated players will join a roster that is already dealing with the absence of Ed Oliver, Joshua Palmer, T.J. Sanders, DJ Moore, and Mike Danna.",
