The Buffalo Bills have made multiple roster moves ahead of Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Per the team, OL Tylan Grable was activated from injured reserve to the 53-man roster while LB Baylon Spector and TE Keleki Latu were elevated from the practice squad to the Active/Inactive roster.
It comes on the heels of Pittsburgh making its own moves, placing OT Broderick Jones on injured reserve while elevating CB Asante Samuel Jr. from the practice squad.
Grable is needed offensive line help for a Bills’ front missing both starting tackles. Left tackle Dion Dawkins and right tackle Spencer Brown were ruled out Friday with injuries. It’s still unclear the pair who will replace them. Ryan Van Denmark is expected to be one of them but the other is less certain. It could be Grable or rookie Chase Lundt. Right now, Grable is the more likely name to start.
He was activated from injured reserve after suffering dealing with continued concussion symptoms this summer. A sixth round pick in 2024, he appeared in four games as a rookie with one start. Grable logged 74 total offensive snaps.
Out of Clemson, Buffalo drafted Spector in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. In four years with the team, he’s appeared in 27 games with four starts. He played significant snaps last season, recording 40 tackles and 1.5 sacks, but has only appeared in one game this season. He’ll provide depth with Terrel Bernard out due to an elbow injury.
Latu’s seen action in a pair of games this year. He made his first NFL receptions two weeks ago, catching a 4 yard pass in a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He logged eight snaps but did not record a catch last week. Combined, Latu’s played 30 special teams snaps this season. He’ll work as depth for starting TE Dalton Kincaid, who is questionable with a hamstring injury. Kincaid truly appears to be a game-time decision.
Yesterday, the Bills signed WR Gabe Davis to the 53-man roster and placed Curtis Samuel on injured reserve.
