Buffalo signed Jordan Poyer to the practice squad, reuniting the veteran with a defense that will lean on Cole Bishop and Taylor Rapp to start the season. The move mirrors last year’s Micah Hyde addition in December, aimed at stabilizing the back end and mentoring the young DBs as Buffalo navigates safety depth this year.

Poyer, a 2021 All-Pro and one-time Pro Bowler, is known for toughness and durability, helping Buffalo end a 17-year playoff drought early in his stint. His Dolphins stop last year felt like a homecoming, but he’s back in Buffalo with a chance to impact the rotation and depth, especially if injuries arise.

Overall, the signing bolsters veteran presence and could influence how the Bills deploy Bishop and Rapp, offering a safer floor for fantasy managers monitoring Buffalo’s defensive snaps and potential elevation from the practice squad later in the season.
