Bills kicker Tyler Bass is currently dealing with pelvic area soreness, ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg notes. As a result, the team recently worked out a number of free agents to handle kicking duties during tomorrow’s preseason game. Davis – an undrafted rookie – was recently waived by the Jets, but he will get at least one opportunity to audition for a roster spot.

Ahmed was recently taken down in a Colts practice by a hip-drop tackle. As a result, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Stephen Holder report the veteran suffered an ankle injury. Ahmed’s attention will turn to rehabbing the ailment; unless he is released by way of an injury settlement, he will not play in 2025.

Bills Sign 12 Undrafted Free Agents

May 10th, 2025 at 11:46am CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Bills have signed the following 12 undrafted free agents to bring their rookie class to 21 players:

Hal Presley, WR (Baylor)
Stephen Gosnell, WR (Virginia Tech)
Kelly Akharaiyi, WR (Mississippi State)
Keleki Latu, TE (Washington)
Rush Reimer, G (Cal)
Jacob Bayer, C (Arkansas State)
Hayden Harris, DE (Montana)
Paris Shand, DE (LSU)
Devin Brandt-Epps, DT (New Mexico)
Keonta Jenkins, LB (Virginia Tech)
Daryl Porter Jr., CB (Miami)
Wande Owens, S (New Hampshire)

Bayer is an experienced center with 46 collegiate starts under his belt – 22 at Lamar and 24 at Arkansas State. He earned first-team All-SBC honors in 2023, but suffered a torn ACL in the spring of 2024. He made an extremely quick recovery, only missing the first game of the season and finishing the year with a second-team All-SBC nod. Bayer will push for a roster spot as a depth center behind Connor McGovern and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger.

Shand is a multi-sport athlete who played for Canada’s U16 National Team in 2017. He then began his football career at Arizona before transferring to LSU in 2023. He wasn’t especially productive in college, but he has the requisite size to play defensive end in Buffalo’s 4-3 scheme.

Jenkins played a hybrid safety role at Virginia Tech but will convert to linebacker in the NFL. He fits the Bills’ mold as a speedy, undersized linebacker who excels in coverage, the likes of whom have found success in Buffalo in recent years.

Porter is the son of former NFL defensive back Daryl Porter, who played for the Bills from 1998 to 2000. His son started 35 games across his collegiate career at West Virginia and Miami.
