Overview

  • Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed Wednesday that Jordan Poyer agreed to join the Bills’ practice squad after a year away.
  • General manager Brandon Beane said Poyer will immediately aid practices and film study as a mentor, a role Buffalo used with Micah Hyde last season.
  • Under NFL rules, Buffalo can elevate Poyer to the game-day roster up to three times before a full active-roster contract is required.
  • Coach Sean McDermott has not named a starter next to Rapp, with Cole Bishop and Damar Hamlin competing for the job as the opener approaches.
  • Poyer, 34, returns after starting 16 games for Miami in 2024, playing 96% of defensive snaps and recording 98 tackles.
