Bills' Jordan Poyer: Out for divisional round
Poyer (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Poyer suffered a hamstring injury during the Bills' wild-card matchup against the Jaguars and will miss the second round of the playoffs. The 34-year-old is considered week to week and could be available to return in the AFC Championship Game should Buffalo beat the No.1-seeded Broncos. With the 10-year veteran unavailable, Jordan Hancock will likely get the start in his stead. Poyer recorded 70 tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including one interception, across 10 games during the regular season.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Won't return versus Jacksonville
Poyer (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card game versus the Jaguars.
Poyer has been a stalwart during his lengthy time spent in Buffalo, and he tallied 70 tackles and three passes defended over 10 regular-season appearances in 2025. If the Bills advance, it will be worth monitoring Poyer's availability for what will be a tough road challenge vs. the Broncos or Patriots.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Exits with injury Sunday
Poyer is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Jaguars with a hamstring injury.
Poyer recorded two tackles before exiting during the first half. The 34-year-old missed the final two games of the regular season with a hamstring issue, but he was not listed with an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game. With Poyer out for the time being, Cam Lewis and/or Sam Franklin will likely see increased playing time.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Cleared for wild-card round
Poyer (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the Jaguars.
Poyer upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday. He's ready to return for his first game action since Week 16.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Feels ready to play
Poyer (hamstring) says that he feels ready to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Poyer was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, so his optimistic words seem to be reflected in his on-field performances. A reunion with Cole Bishop in the secondary would reignite a safety tandem that helped turn the Bills into one of the most dominant pass defenses in the latter half of the 2025 season.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Listed as limited Wednesday
Poyer (hamstring) will be listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Poyer closed out the regular season with back-to-back absences due to a hamstring injury, but Buffalo will hope to have the starting safety back in action for Sunday's wild-card round matchup on the road against Jacksonville. Cam Lewis will figure to handle an expanded role on defense versus the Jaguars in the event that Poyer can't go.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Ruled out for Week 18
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Poyer (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Poyer will miss a second consecutive contest to close out the regular season. Buffalo will hope to have the starting safety back on the field in time for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs. Across his 10 regular-season appearances in 2025, Poyer racked up 70 tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, plus three passes defensed, including one interception.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Sidelined Wednesday
Poyer (hamstring) won't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
The 34-year-old was sidelined for the Week 17 loss to the Eagles due to a hamstring issue, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still dealing with the injury. Poyer likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation in Sunday's matchup against the Jets, though he may be rested with the Patriots having already secured the AFC East title.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Won't suit up Week 17
Poyer (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Poyer suffered a hamstring injury last Sunday against Cleveland. In his return to Buffalo this season, the veteran safety been an integral part of the Bills' defense, starting nine of 10 games since making his season debut Week 6. It's unclear who will replace Poyer as a starter Sunday, but that role could go to either veteran Darnell Savage or rookie Jordan Hancock.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Poyer (hamstring) was a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
The veteran from Oregon State was deemed day-to-day with a hamstring issue following the Week 16 win over the Browns, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. Poyer has been an integral part of Buffalo's secondary this season, recording 70 total tackles and three passes defensed, including an interception, over 10 appearances. If he's sidelined for the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, Jordan Hancock will likely operate as the Bills' top strong safety.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Day-to-day with hamstring issue
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Poyer is day-to-day with a hamstring injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Poyer has yet to be listed with a hamstring issue this season, so perhaps he tweaked it during Sunday's win over the Browns. The veteran safety played 88 percent of the defensive snaps against Cleveland, finishing with 11 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one interception.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Notches 15 stops vs. Tampa Bay
Poyer recorded 15 total tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers.

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.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Signed to active roster
The Bills signed Poyer off the practice squad Tuesday.
Poyer started at safety in Week 8 against the Panthers and logged five tackles (one solo) on 74 percent of the defensive snaps. With Taylor Rapp (knee) and Damar Hamlin (pectoral) on injured reserve, Poyer seems like a good bet to remain in the starting lineup.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Returns to practice squad
Poyer reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per NFL's official transaction log.
Poyer was elevated to the active roster for the second straight game ahead of Sunday's 40-9 win over Carolina, recording five total tackles (one solo) while playing 45 of the team's 54 defensive snaps and one snap on special teams. The 34-year-old operated as the team's starting strong safety versus the Panthers due to the placement of Taylor Rapp (knee) on injured reserve, and Poyer will therefore almost assuredly be elevated again in Week 9 versus the Chiefs.
