Poyer recorded six tackles (two solo) in Thursday night's loss to the Texans. Poyer was signed off the practice squad ahead of Week 6 and has started five straight games in Buffalo's secondary. He played 80 percent of the defensive snaps against Houston and now has 40 tackles (15 solo) and two pass breakups on 245 defensive snaps across six appearances this season.

Poyer recorded 15 total tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers. The veteran safety from Oregon State has now played at least 80 percent of the Bills' defensive snaps in back-to-back games, recording 23 total tackles during that span. Poyer led Buffalo's defense in stops during the Week 11 win, bringing his season total to 34 in just five appearances. Expect the 34-year-old to remain one of the Bills' top safeties in the Week 12 matchup against the Texans.

Poyer recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Buffalo's loss to Miami on Sunday. Poyer's eight tackles not only led the team but also marked a new season-high total for the 34-year-old. He has gotten off to a hot start since making his debut in Week 6, racking up 19 tackles (six solo) across just four games played.

The Bills cut Poyer from the practice squad Wednesday to make room for wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee), Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports. The move is simply procedural to make room on the practice squad for Davis, so Poyer is expected to be back on the Bills' practice squad Thursday. The 34-year-old safety wasn't able to catch on with a team during the offseason despite starting in 16 regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024, but Poyer would be a candidate to be elevated to the Bills' active roster if a member of the team's secondary is sidelined.

Poyer is expected to join Buffalo's practice squad, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. Poyer didn't garner any interest in free agency after a 2024 campaign with Miami during which he started 16 games and posted 98 tackles but had just three passes defensed, no interceptions and no sacks. The 34-year-old safety's best football is behind him, but Buffalo's safety play was shaky in the preseason, so perhaps Poyer will get a chance at some point in 2025 to add to his career total of 107 regular-season appearances with the Bills.
