S Jordan Poyer and DT Jordan Phillips are back in Buffalo
Two familiar faces are back in Buffalo and on the team's initial practice squad in safety Jordan Poyer and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips. The two are known as leaders in the locker room as Poyer spent seven years with the Bills (2017-23) and Phillips is on his fourth stint with the team.
Beane said the two bring lots of value not just to the practice squad but to the team overall.
"We have a lot of history with both of those guys, both of them have had great impacts here," Beane explained. "First off, on the field, but culture, character, leadership, all those things, you can't find enough guys like that."
Poyer has played in 107 games for Buffalo and totaled 22 interceptions, 48 passes defensed and 682 total tackles. Phillips has appeared in 61 games for the Bills and racked up 13.5 sacks, 28 quarterback hits and 90 total tackles.
Beane loves their team-first mentality and thinks it will be a great asset to the younger players.
"That's what I love about both Jordans, they're selfless," Beane said. "Of course, they're competitive. If their number's called, they're going to go out there and do their best. But they also understand -- it's do whatever it takes. Help a guy on practice squad, help a guy on active, help guy prepare for an upcoming opponent."
