Cardinals Poach Bills' OL Depth
7 Oct
Summary
- Arizona Cardinals signed Jedrick Wills Jr. from Bills' practice squad.
- Wills was a former first-round pick by the Cleveland Browns.
- Cardinals needed a tackle after losing Paris Johnson Jr. to injury.
The Buffalo Bills recently saw former first-round offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. claimed off their practice squad by the Arizona Cardinals. Wills, originally the 10th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, had a history of starting at left tackle but has been hampered by knee issues. He missed the entirety of the 2025 season due to surgeries and was released by the Chicago Bears before signing with Buffalo's practice squad.
The Cardinals' acquisition of Wills was prompted by the season-ending bicep injury sustained by their starting left tackle, Paris Johnson Jr. This move allows Arizona to fill a critical offensive line vacancy. Although Wills did not play for the Bills this season, his past performance indicates he could be a significant addition if he regains full health, potentially seeing action for the first time in nearly two years.
While Wills' departure thins the Bills' offensive line depth, the team's overall line remains in good condition, tasked with protecting quarterback Josh Allen and facilitating the running game. Buffalo is preparing for a Week 5 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams following their Week 4 divisional loss to the New England Patriots.
