Just days after he made his professional debut for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills are bringing back a former quarterback to shore up their roster.
The Bills have brought back Shane Buechele, signing him to their practice squad on Wednesday.
Buechele has only ever featured for two teams: the Bills and the Chiefs.
As an undrafted free agent, Buechele signed with Kansas City after his college career at Texas and SMU.
Buechele has been a career backup quarterback – often being signed to the practice squads of the two teams.
But in Week 18, he made his professional debut with the Chiefs – completing 7-of-14 passes for 88 yards, but being sacked five times in a 14-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Last week, Buechele – a career backup – made his pro debut with the Kansas City Chiefs
Buechele completed seven passes for 88 yards and was sacked five times against the Raiders
He was released after the game ended, becoming a free agent before now returning to Buffalo.
The Bills are back in the playoffs for the seventh straight season, but it’s the first time since 2019 that they did not win the division.
Buffalo struggled (by their standards) and came second in the AFC East due to a strong performance from the upstart New England Patriots.
The Bills now travel south for a Sunday afternoon AFC Wild Card matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.Â
