Alright, so the Buffalo Bills just pulled a move that’s got some folks scratching their heads. They’re waiving defensive back Anthony Kendall, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. But here’s the kicker: they apparently plan to bring him right back onto the practice squad, assuming he clears waivers first. It’s one of those roster chess moves teams make, but the timing on this one is pretty wild.
The Immediate Aftermath of a Long-Awaited Return
This isn’t just some run-of-the-mill roster shuffle. We’re talking about Anthony Kendall, a 26-year-old DB who hadn’t even suited up for a game since way back in 2023. Think about that: almost three years between game appearances, and then he finally hits the field. And what happens next? He gets waived. Ouch. He just played in Buffalo’s victory over the Rams last night, putting in 31 defensive snaps and another 15 snaps on special teams. You’d think after getting back into game action, he’d be locked in, but the NFL is a business, man.
Kendall’s Journey: From The Field To The Waiver Wire And Maybe Back
Kendall’s career has already been a bit of a journeyman’s tale, even at 26. Before landing with the Bills, he spent time with the Titans, Ravens, and Browns. So he’s seen a few locker rooms. For a guy who just got his first game action in years, playing a significant chunk of snaps, only to immediately hit the waiver wire again has to be a tough pill to swallow. But the good news, if you can call it that, is the intent to bring him back to the practice squad. It means they like what they saw, even if the 53-man roster spot isn’t there right now. For Kendall, it’s all about clearing waivers and staying in the system. It’s a grind out there for these guys just trying to make it.
