Overview
- Buffalo announced it released WR Mecole Hardman Jr., signed TE Keleki Latu to the 53-man roster, and elevated K Michael Badgley and DE Andre Jones Jr. from the practice squad on December 27.
- Hardman’s Bills stint yielded two games with one target and no receptions, with limited return duties that included a 61-yard kickoff and a punt fumble before a calf injury.
- Latu, a 23-year-old undrafted player who had already been elevated three times, joins the active roster as TE depth with Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox listed as questionable.
- Head coach Sean McDermott ruled out kicker Matt Prater, prompting Badgley’s elevation after he went 1-for-1 on field goals and 2-for-3 on extra points last week.
- The moves come ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Eagles, a game reported to carry significant implications for Buffalo’s AFC East race.
