Bills place DT Jordan Phillips on IR, sign QB Shane Buechele to practice squad

Our Summary

The Buffalo Bills have made key roster adjustments ahead of their upcoming wild-card game. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips has been placed on injured reserve due to a right ankle injury sustained in Week 15 against the Patriots, ending his season after contributing nine tackles, one sack, and a pass defensed over 11 games. In a corresponding move, cornerback Dane Jackson has been promoted from the practice squad. Jackson, who played three games this season with three tackles, will help fill the void left by Maxwell Harrison, who has been ruled out due to an ankle injury from Week 18. Additionally, the Bills have added quarterback Shane Buechele and cornerback Daryl Porter Jr. to their practice squad, with Buechele returning after a stint with the Kansas City Chiefs.
