The Buffalo Bills announced a series of roster adjustments this afternoon as they continue to manage injuries and prepare for their next matchup. The team officially promoted linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo from the practice squad to the active roster. Ciarlo, who has impressed in practices and special teams work, will now have an opportunity to contribute on game day.
In addition to that move, the Bills have elevated defensive tackles Zion Logue and Phidarian Mathis from the practice squad. Both players add valuable size and strength to a defensive front that has been battling through several injuries in recent weeks. Their elevation suggests Buffalo is looking to reinforce its interior line rotation and maintain pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Unfortunately, the Bills also received some bad news regarding the secondary. Cornerback Dorian Strong has been placed on Injured Reserve, which means he will miss at least the next four games. Strong’s absence creates another challenge for a defense already stretched thin, forcing other players in the cornerback group to step up.
These roster changes underline the Bills’ ongoing efforts to stay competitive despite their growing list of injuries. Head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane continue to adjust the roster strategically, ensuring that the team has depth and flexibility across all defensive positions.
As the Bills head into Week 5, the additions of Ciarlo, Logue, and Mathis could prove critical in maintaining defensive balance and consistency. Buffalo will look to these fresh faces to provide energy, fill key gaps, and help the team stay strong in a crucial stretch of the season.
