Buffalo Bills Jedrick Wills Jr. NFL practice squad Cleveland Browns injury recovery

The Buffalo Bills have signed offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. to their practice squad. The 27-year-old, a former 10th overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in the 2020 NFL draft, joins the Bills one day after being released by the Chicago Bears.

Wills, a former Alabama standout, spent the 2025 season recovering from knee surgery and missed most of the 2024 season due to injury. While he competed for a starting role with the Bears during training camp, he was unable to secure a spot on their initial 53-man roster.

In Buffalo, Wills is expected to provide depth behind established starters Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown. His signing follows the addition of wide receiver Greg Dortch and linebacker Shaq Thompson to the Bills' practice squad.
