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.

Jordan Phillips returns to Buffalo for a fourth stint, adding veteran interior depth as Buffalo navigates Ogunjobi’s six-game suspension. Phillips, 32, has been a steady run-stopper in Bills seasons past and should slot into a meaningful early-down role while the rotation sorts itself. Buffalo opens against Baltimore, a stern Week 1 test that will reveal how the revamped interior defense handles double-teams and early-season wear. The deal underscores Buffalo’s emphasis on immediate depth as cuts approach.

Buffalo's move to re-sign Jordan Phillips to the 53-man roster on August 24 adds a veteran interior rush option to a crowded Bills DL, triggering debate about age, fit, and roster strategy. The decision hints at another offseason emphasis on the line, yet raises questions about depth and rotation in a unit that could still be reshaped via trade. Fantasy managers should monitor snaps, usage in sub-packages, and potential near-term moves as preseason rolls on.

The Miami Dolphins made strategic moves during the NFL draft to bolster their defensive line, selecting defensive tackle Jordan Phillips from Maryland with the 143rd overall pick. Standing at 6'3" and weighing 305 pounds, Phillips joins Kenneth Grant as the second Big Ten defensive tackle on the Dolphins' roster.

Phillips's path to the NFL began at Tennessee, where he was a three-star recruit before transferring to Maryland to solidify his skills. Over his final two seasons with the Terps, he started 23 games, accumulating 57 tackles and 2.5 sacks, showcasing his potential to contribute immediately in the NFL.
