Uche (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Uche has been out of action since Week 10 against Cleveland and was put on IR on Nov. 17. He was designated to return Dec. 14, so he's had some time to practice with the team before returning to the field Sunday against the Bills. The second-year pro played a rotational role in the Patriots' linebacker unit before the injury and should return to a similar role here.
