McKitty was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports. McKitty signed a reserve/future contract with Buffalo in January, reeling in a 20-yard reception on his only target in the preseason. If the tight end clears waivers, he could join the Bills' practice squad ahead of the 2024 campaign.

Buffalo signed McKitty to its practice squad Tuesday. Just a week after being waived by the Chargers, McKitty has already found another opportunity with a new team. With Dawson Knox (wrist) and Zach Davidson (undisclosed) both on the Bills' injured reserve list, McKitty could be called up as soon as Monday versus Denver.

The Chargers waived McKitty on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. McKitty played 96 snaps -- 61 on offense and 35 on special teams -- across six games this season and did not record a stat. The 2021 third-round pick didn't get much of a chance to participate in the Chargers' offense behind Gerald Everett and Donald Parham. McKitty will be able to explore his next moves should he clear waivers.

McKitty went without a target while playing three of his 14 total snaps on offense in the Chargers' 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday. McKitty might be the best blocker among the four tight ends on the Chargers' 53-man roster, but his prowess in that regard hasn't earned him much work thus far. He's played just eight snaps on offense through the first two weeks, placing McKitty well behind Gerald Everett (79), Donald Parham (67) and Stone Smartt (26).

McKitty finished the 2022-23 season catching 10 of his 18 targets for 72 yards. McKitty failed to surpass 100 yards on the season despite playing in every game, and he was outgained by Donald Parham, who only suited up for six contests. While McKitty has primarily been used as a run blocker, he has still failed to live up to his status as a third-round pick. Don't expect McKitty to be involved more as a pass catcher unless the Chargers opt not to bring back Parham, who is a restricted free agent.
