The Buffalo Bills made and were awarded another waiver claim on Friday, adding veteran safety Darnell Savage Jr. to the 53-man roster. Savage Jr. will fill the roster spot vacated by cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram, who was waived to accommodate a successful waiver claim for veteran cornerback Darius Slay Jr. When Slay Jr. failed to report to Buffalo, the Bills placed him on the Reserve/Did Not Report list, thereby opening a spot on the active roster.
Savage Jr., 28, is a former first-round draft pick, as he was the twenty-first overall selection by the Green Bay Packers in the 2019 NFL...

The Buffalo Bills are clinging to their playoff lives right now, and on Sunday they will have to beat the Cincinnati Bengals with a makeshift roster – although not quite as makeshift as last week when they took on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Before Friday’s practice, head coach Sean McDermott announced that defensive end Joey Bosa and linebacker Terrell Bernard had been ruled out for Sunday’s game. The announcement came as no surprise as neither has practiced at all this week.
Bernard missed last week’s game with an elbow injury he suffered in Houston during Thursday Night Football in Week 11....

The Buffalo Bills face off in yet another big AFC matchup this week, taking on the Cincinnati Bengals in their second straight battle against an AFC North opponent. The Bills dispatched the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, overcoming a poor offensive showing in the first half on the way to a 26-7 victory.
While last week’s game had great playoff leverage, this week’s contest shows no let-up in that regard. The Bills can keep pace with their AFC foes with a win, and they can all but guarantee that the Bengals will be out of the playoffs at the same time....

The Cincinnati Bengals have just four wins, and yet, if they defeat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, they will maintain slim hopes of coming all the way back to win the AFC North title. While it’s unlikely, the Bengals could still make a run to the postseason if things break their way. After dropping a 32-14 beatdown on the Baltimore Ravens last week, they took the first step towards making their own breaks in their quest for a postseason berth.
With their superstar quarterback having returned from injury last week, newfound life came into the team. The beleaguered Cincinnati defense...

Week 14 of NFL action gets underway tonight with a great NFC matchup between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. Yes, it’s irksome to see the Cowboys be given a primetime game almost every week, but here we are — living in Jerry’s World. Interesting as it may be, tonight’s Thursday Night Football game sees two Thanksgiving mainstays doing battle. That’s allowed both teams to escape the dreaded short week found in playing primetime games on Thursday — at least for this week.
So yes, while we’ve really seen a lot of Jerry’s Cowboys in the past month — broadcast...

The one where James Cook III ran away with the football
The Buffalo Bills survived a potential letdown in Week 13, laying waste to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half of last Sunday’s game. It might just be that it took a bit longer than usual for the tryptophan to wear off for the Bills. That, or someone finally woke up offensive coordinator Joe Brady to remind him about the very special talent lining up with quarterback Josh Allen in the offensive backfield.
Running back James Cook III is a bona fide stud, and he should be an NFL...

The Buffalo Bills and cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram are not set for a reunion in the same week where they gave parting glances. Instead, Ingram is headed to play for the Houston Texans, which claimed him off waivers to add him to their 53-man active roster. To make room for Ingram, the Texans placed another former Bills defender on Injured Reserve, defensive tackle Tim Settle Jr.
At least for now, this brings to an end the four-year partnership shared between Ingram and One Bills Drive, — a union where a former University at Buffalo cornerback made an impact as a reserve...

After a walkthrough practice on Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills held a full practice today as they prepare to host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon. Their daily injury report was nearly identical to yesterday, but that ‘nearly’ is a big one.
After not being on the injury report at all on Wednesday, A.J. Epenesa showed up in street clothes at Thursday’s practice. Now the defensive end is listed as a non-participant dealing with a foot injury.
If Epenesa is sidelined, the Bills will have to look way down the roster to find enough edge rushers to put the pressure on...

The Buffalo Bills and veteran cornerback Darius Slay Jr. became the latest celebrity NFL couple for a total of 19 hours. One Bills Drive placed a claim for Slay, who was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers, promptly adding him to the 53-man active roster. To do all that meant Buffalo having to part ways with cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram, who had spent the previous four seasons playing defense and special teams with Buffalo.
Now, Slay, who turns 35 on January 1, has apparently changed his mind per a report by ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter. According to Schefter, Slay “is...

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...

The Buffalo Bills have added veteran cornerback Darius Slay to their 53-man active roster, per a report by ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter. The soon-to-be 35-year-old Slay has played for three teams in 13 NFL seasons. Slay was more recently with the Pittsburgh Steelers, whom he had signed a one-year, $10 million contract this past offseason.
The Steelers took on $8.5 million of Slay’s salary in the form of a bonus upon his release. That makes Slay a bit of a bargain for One Bills Drive. It remains to be seen what Slay has left, with him turning 35...
