One practice squad move to pass along:
Buffalo Bills
- Signed: LB A.J. Klein
- Released: DT Eli Ankou
Klein has spent much of the past four seasons in Buffalo, collecting 110 tackles and five sacks in 39 games (16 starts). He was cut by the Bills at the end of the 2023 preseason, but following the sudden retirement of Christian Kirksey, he was added back to the practice squad. He ended up getting into a pair of games this season, with all of his snaps coming on special teams. He was cut from the active roster back in December.
Matt Milano remains on injured reserve as he recovers from a broken tibia, and replacement Tyrel Dodson suffered a shoulder injury in the regular season finale. This left the team shallow at linebacker, and there’s a chance the veteran Klein finds himself on the active roster for Sunday’s first-round matchup against the Steelers.
Hate to see Ankou go, but I get it.
Lival Joseph is on the roster, and Klein might even find defense snaps in some spots.
Hope no one grabs up Ankou before we can get him back on the roster
