Buffalo Bills make defensive roster moves before Week 8 vs. Baltimore Ravens

The Buffalo Bills have made defensive roster adjustments ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The team has signed outside linebacker Andre Jones Jr. and cornerback A.J. Woods to their practice squad. In return, Buffalo has released cornerback Anthony Kendall and defensive lineman Austin Johnson from the practice squad to create space for Jones and Woods.

Andre Jones Jr., who played three regular-season games with the Miami Dolphins this season, has returned to Buffalo after a brief stint. During his limited appearances with the Bills earlier in the 2025 NFL season, Jones contributed five tackles (one solo). He also saw action in one playoff game last season, adding another tackle.

Meanwhile, Anthony Kendall, who made 31 defensive snaps during Buffalo's road victory over the Los Angeles Rams, has departed the team. His replacement, A.J. Woods, is a 32-year-old cornerback who has yet to take part in an NFL regular-season game since entering the league in 2024.

Austin Johnson, a defensive lineman with a history of stints with the Bills since the 2024 season, has also been let go. Johnson made two interceptions during the 2024 regular season and appeared in 15 games in total that year, logging 19 tackles (7 solo), one quarterback hit, half a sack, two pass defenses, and the two interceptions mentioned for nine yards.
