Caden Davis joined Buffalo this week and was called upon to kick in the opener with Bass sidelined. His signing creates immediate competition context and potential late-season leverage for Buffalo if Bass experiences any hiccups. Davis’s early involvement signals the Bills’ willingness to use outside-the-box options when the roster calls for it.

Caden Davis impressed in the preseason with a 33-yard PAT and a 24-yard field goal, hinting at a real potential to function as an emergency Bills kicker if Bass’s injury lingers, and highlighting Buffalo’s willingness to test non-traditional options at kicking duties.
