Toohill (shoulder) signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Tuesday, Patrick Warren of the team's official site reports.
Toohill appeared in 16 games last season, missing the Commanders' final contest due to a shoulder injury. The Stanford product notched a career-high 5.0 sacks in 2023 and should bolster Buffalo's depth off the edge now that he's healthy.

Commanders' Casey Toohill: Ends year with 5.0 sacks
Rotowire
Toohill (shoulder) started eight of his 16 games in 2023 and finished the year with 26 tackles (17 solo), 5.0 sacks and one pass defense.
He became a starter after the Commanders traded defensive ends Chase Young and Montez Sweat in October, though 4.0 of Toohill's 5.0 sacks actually occurred before those deals. He didn't have much luck rushing passers in a full-time role, and the 2020 seventh-round pick may have to settle for a backup job as he prepares for unrestricted free agency after missing Week 18 with a shoulder injury.

Football Team's Casey Toohill: Goes on COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Toohill was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available Sunday for Washington's game against the Cowboys.
Washington hasn't revealed whether Toohill tested positive for the virus or was deemed a close contact of an infected person, but in any case, he'll be the fifth member of the Football Team this week to be ruled out after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Toohill's absence will further deplete Washington's depth at defensive end, as the Football Team will be without its top four options at the position. In addition to Toohill, James Smith-Williams and Montez Sweat (jaw, positive test) are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, while Chase Young (knee) is on season-ending injured reserve.

Toohill (toe) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Toohill won't have much of a role on defense as long as Chase Young and Montez Sweat are healthy. As a rookie in 2020, Toohill posted two tackles across nine games between Philadelphia -- who drafted him in the seventh round -- and Washington.

Rotowire
Toohill was claimed off waivers by Washington on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
After he was drafted in the seventh round during April's draft by the Eagles, the team decided to part ways with the Stanford product Tuesday. Now that he's joining an NFC East rival, Toohill will add depth at defensive end, as he appeared in just one contest with the Eagles this campaign.

Eagles' Casey Toohill: Edge rusher lands in Philadelphia
Rotowire
The Eagles selected Toohill in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 233rd overall.
The Eagles continue to prioritize speed above all else in the latter stages of the 2020 NFL Draft, this time selecting the Stanford edge rusher, who posted a 4.62 40-yard dash at the combine. A smart and toolsy player, Toohill struggled mightily at stopping the run in college, but adding more weight -- depending on his positional classification at the professional level -- could help him stick on an NFL roster.
