Buffalo Rumblings
After the Buffalo Bills claimed veteran cornerback Darius Slay Jr. off waivers on Wednesday, December 3, the team had to make room for him on their 53-man active roster. Thus, in a corresponding move, reserve cornerback and special teams ace Ja’Marcus Ingram has been released.
Ingram is a four-year NFL veteran who joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL Draft. Ingram made significant contributions as a cornerback during Buffalo’s 2024 season — making 24 tackles (16 solo), two tackles for loss, one quarterback hit, one sack, four pass defenses, two interceptions, and one interception return for a 31-yard touchdown, per Pro Football Reference.
Ingram has also played an integral role as part of the Bills’ special teams units since making the transition from the University at Buffalo to One Bills Drive. In seven games with the Bills this season, Ingram has made six tackles, five of them solo. Ingram has appeared in 63 defensive snaps (8.97%), and 76 special teams snaps (23.90%).
Ingram is now subject to the NFL waiver portal. Should he go unclaimed by another team, Ingram is a likely candidate to land back on the practice squad at One Bills Drive.
