Buffalo Bills re-signed Jordan Poyer and Jordan Phillips to the practice squad, signaling veteran leadership for a young defense and a potential late-season depth spark. Beane highlighted culture, character, and leadership as the reasons, while both players echoed the appeal of Buffalo’s identity with Phillips declaring, "Buffalo or nothing." The move prioritizes locker-room influence and flexibility, offering mentorship and a hedge for injuries while leaving a door open for on-field reps if rotations demand it.
