Buffalo Rumblings
The Buffalo Bills have signed kicker Michael Badgley to the practice squad, just a day after news that revealed incumbent kicker Matt Prater would miss at least Buffalo’s Week 16 road game against the Cleveland Browns. Prater is considered week to week, dealing with a quadriceps injury suffered sometime between the Week 15 game at the New England Patriots and the head coach Sean McDermott’s Monday press conference with reporters.
The 30-year-old Badgley was previously with the Indianapolis Colts this season, having played in seven games before his release. With the Colt, Badgley went 1-of-1 from 20-29 yards, 3-of-3 from 30-39 yards, 4-of-4 from 40-49 yards, and 2-of-3 from 50-59 yards, totaling 10-of-11 made field goals with a long of 53 yards.
To make room for Badgley on the practice squad, One Bills Drive released cornerback M.J. Devonshire. With Prater’s injury listed at week-to-week, it’s likely the Bills have him inactive while calling up Badgley in the short term.
