Bills Place DT Jordan Phillips on IR, Sign CB Dane Jackson to 53-Man Roster Before Wild Card

The signing addresses Maxwell Hairston’s expected absence, preserving elevation options for the playoff roster.

Overview

  • Jordan Phillips was placed on injured reserve with a Week 18 foot injury, ending his season as the Bills enter the postseason.
  • Dane Jackson was signed to the active roster after spending most of the year on the practice squad, with Sean McDermott lauding his toughness and reliability.
  • The move avoids using one of Buffalo’s two practice-squad elevations this weekend, keeping flexibility to deploy call-ups elsewhere if needed.
  • Rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston is likely out for the Wild Card game against the Jaguars due to an ankle injury, according to McDermott.
  • Buffalo designated safety Damar Hamlin for return from IR, making him eligible for activation ahead of the Jacksonville matchup.
