Jalen Virgil: Everything you need to know

The Bills signed Virgil to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Virgil will return to Buffalo, where he appeared in seven games but failed to record any stats. The 27-year-old spent time on the Cardinals' practice squad during the 2025 season before being released in November and will look to earn a spot on the Bills' final roster for the 2026 campaign.

Virgil was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday. The 27-year-old wideout was added to the Cardinals' practice squad just one week ago, but it now appears that the team decided to move in another direction. Virgil's last in-game action came with the Bills in 2024, when he appeared in eight games and didn't record an offensive stat across 119 total snaps (83 on special teams, 36 on offense).

The Cardinals signed Virgil to the practice squad Wednesday. Virgil's addition to the Cardinals' practice squad gives the team much-needed depth at wide receiver after Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (wrist) were both placed on injured reserve. Virgil could be elevated to the Cardinals' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, given that Xavier Weaver (ankle) is listed as questionable and Marvin Harrison (appendix) has been ruled out. Virgil served mostly in a special-teams role across seven regular-season games for the Bills in 2024.
