Obada (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Obada couldn't suit up versus the Dolphins in Week 2, but he looks set to return for Sunday's matchup against Washington. He only played 26 percent of defensive snaps Week 1.
Obada signed a one-year deal with the Bills on Wednesday.
Obada won't have too much trouble getting comfortable in his new digs, as several Bills -- including general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott -- have spent time with the Panthers organization. Obada, who hails from Nigeria, has worked his way through the NFL's international program. He'll try to land a spot on a deep Bills team as a reserve defensive end.

Panthers' Efe Obada: Re-ups with Panthers
Rotowire
Obada signed a one-year contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
Obada, who went undrafted in 2015, made his NFL debut for the Panthers in 2018. The 27-year-old evidently impressed the team's brass across his 10 appearances, tallying eight tackles, two sacks and one interception. He'll likely play a rotation role at defensive end once again in his sophomore season.
