Overview
- The Bills signed fullback Brock Lampe to the practice squad and released offensive lineman Nick Broeker, a transaction the team announced on Monday, Sept. 14.
- Lampe is a 6-foot-1, 249-pound undrafted 2025 prospect from Northern Illinois who lined up as a fullback, tight end, receiver and offset tackle in college.
- Lampe spent his rookie year on the Patriots’ injured reserve, was released in July, signed with the Seahawks in training camp and was waived from IR with an injury settlement on Sept. 1 before visiting Buffalo.
- Buffalo opened the season without a true fullback after final cuts and rushed for 86 yards in its Week 1 win over Houston, a short output that likely prompted the team to add lead-blocking depth on the practice squad.
- Broeker was a 2023 seventh-round pick who took preseason snaps at guard and tackle for Buffalo and was released to free a practice-squad spot, while Lampe’s signing gives coaches a chance to test a dedicated short-yardage blocker without promoting him to the active roster.
