What happened: The Buffalo Bills activated defensive back Jordan Hancock from injured reserve and elevated quarterback Shane Buechele from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Buffalo also released defensive back Te’Cory Couch.
Why it matters: Hancock returns to provide secondary depth after being designated to return from injured reserve with a hamstring injury earlier in the week. Buffalo enters Sunday's matchup tied for the best record in the NFL following a 23-6 road win over the Minnesota Vikings.
By the numbers: Hancock has recorded 5 tackles in 2026 through 2 games. Buechele completed 7 of 14 passes for 88 yards in 1 game last season (2025) with the Chiefs.
What to watch: The Bills face the New York Jets on Sunday.
