The Buffalo Bills Sign Veteran Run-Stopping Defensive Tackle

The trade deadline was on Tuesday and the Bills made a move.  Today, they've made another to shore up the defensive line.

The Bills lost more than just a game when they traveled to London to play the Jacksonville Jaguars.  They lost a major player at just about every level of the defense that day.  Not only did they lose linebacker Matt Milano, but also a guy who was having a huge season at Defensive Tackle, Da'Quan Jones.  They still have not commented on how long either of them will be out.

Today, they made a move to add some depth to the defensive line.

The Bills have signed Defensive Tackle Linval Joseph

Today, the Buffalo Bills signed two-time Pro-Bowler Linval Joseph.  He was a free agent who was most recently with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022.  According to the Bills, Joseph started 8 games with Philly and had played for the Chargers, Vikings, and Giants prior to his stop in Philadelphia.

Joseph is known around the league as a bit of a run-stop specialist.

The Bills placed Kaiir Elam on Injured Reserve

Yesterday Bills GM Brandon Beane had hinted that the Bills were in talks with a defensive tackle and that nothing had been set in stone yet.  He also mentioned that they were thinking about shelving last year's first-round draft pick Kaiir Elam to help him get healthy for a while.  He's been dealing with an ankle issue and they figured they could help him to get healthy and clear up a spot on their roster by putting Elam on IR.

The Bills will be back in action with a Sunday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals this week.
