Ben VanSumeren: Everything you need to know

The Bills signed VanSumeren (knee) to a one-year contract Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Philadelphia opted not to tender VanSumeren after his third season with the team back in March, but it didn't take long for him to get another shot with a new squad. His 2025 season ended prematurely due to a torn patella tendon during the opening kickoff of Week 1, but in the two years prior, his elite speed, strength and explosiveness allowed him to earn opportunities on special teams.

The Eagles did not tender VanSumeren (knee) as a restricted free agent Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. VanSumeren will therefore become an unrestricted free agent. The fullback tore his patella tendon on the opening kickoff of the Eagles' Week 1 game against the Cowboys last season.

VanSumeren was diagnosed with a torn patella tendon Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. VanSumeren suffered the injury on the opening kickoff of Philadelphia's Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys. He was placed on injured reserve earlier Friday and will be sidelined for the rest of the season.
