The Buffalo Bills are making significant roster changes ahead of their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team announced multiple moves aimed at enhancing their performance on both offense and defense this week.
Bills Boost Roster Ahead of Buccaneers Clash
Key Roster Moves
- Wide receiver Gabe Davis has been elevated from the practice squad.
- WR Mecole Hardman has been signed from the practice squad.
- Defensive tackle T.J. Sanders has been activated from injured reserve.
- Cornerback Brandon Codrington has been released.
- TE Keleki Latu has also been elevated from the practice squad.
Impact of Gabe Davis
Gabe Davis is expected to play a pivotal role in the passing game. This elevation coincides almost perfectly with the anniversary of his knee injury from last year while he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Since signing with the Bills practice squad in early September, Davis has been focused on rehabilitation.
He recently addressed the team’s need for improved consistency, remarking, “Honestly, I just think we have to play to our standards. It doesn’t matter who we play. It’s about us.” Davis had previously been a significant contributor, averaging 16.7 yards per catch during his earlier tenure with the Bills.
Signing Mecole Hardman
The Bills’ signing of Mecole Hardman comes as a response to struggles in their return game. His speed will provide an immediate advantage. Depending on the team’s active roster, Hardman could also see playing time on offense.
T.J. Sanders and Keleki Latu Join the Team
Defensive tackle T.J. Sanders, who was a second-round pick, is expected to add depth to the defensive tackle position. He will join DaQuan Jones and Deone Walker, bringing experience after his recovery from injury.
Additionally, Keleki Latu has been elevated as the No. 3 tight end, stepping into action with Dalton Kincaid unavailable. Latu earned this opportunity following a strong performance during training camp.
These strategic roster moves are designed to strengthen the Bills as they prepare to face off against the Buccaneers. As the season progresses, the team’s adaptability will be crucial for success.
