Ankou (ankle) participated in Wednesday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports. It's unclear how much Ankou did at practice, but it's encouraging to see him back in action after missing about a week with an ankle issue. The undrafted defensive tackle out of UCLA spent last season on the Bills' practice squad and is battling for a spot on the initial 53-man roster this year.

Ankou (ankle) will not practice Thursday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Ankou spent last season on the Bills' practice squad and is working to earn a role on the 53-man roster in camp. It's unclear how significant the injury could be, or how much time he may miss; however, he'll now focus on getting healthy so he can return to the field.

Ankou (calf) was removed from the Bills' active/PUP list Thursday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. Ankou appeared back at practice in full pads for the first time since picking up a calf strain July 24. The 28-year-old played for five teams over his first five seasons, including six games for the Bills from Week 8 onward last year. Ankou totaled nine tackles with one sack during his time with Buffalo in 2021, and he should compete with Brandin Bryant, Prince Emili and C.J. Brewer for a reserve defensive tackle role with the team this preseason.

The Bills will sign Ankou to a contract this week, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. The Bills have been operating under the max number of roster spots allowed at this point of the offseason, so they'll be adding a few more bodies ahead of training camp next month. Ankou has floated around several NFL rosters and will have a big hill to climb to make the team, as the Bills already are running pretty deep at defensive line and may have a harsh cut or two to make ahead of the season.
-
Ankou was waived by the Colts on Saturday. Ankou did not see any time on the field during his stint on the Colts' active roster. Assuming he clears waivers, the 26-year-old will be a prime candidate to land on the team's practice squad.
