The Bills designated Hamlin (pectoral) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

Hamlin was placed on IR in early October after seeing just 12 defensive snaps in the first five weeks of the season. The reserve safety's 21-day practice window has now opened, meaning he could return any week during a potential deep playoff run for the Bills.
