The Buffalo Bills may have been victorious in Week 1, but the team is not wasting any time in looking ahead. Buffalo is on a short week as the team prepares to face the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football.
Less than 24 hours after the victory, the Bills already announced two roster moves. Buffalo signed fullback Brock Lampe ahead of Week 2.
Prior to joining the Bills, Lampe had short stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. To make room for Lampe, the Bills released guard Nick Broeker.
The 6-foot-4, 305-pound veteran previously appeared in 12 NFL games during his career, but all with the Houston Texans. Broeker last played in a regular-season game in 2024.
This marks the second time Broeker has been released by the Bills in less than two weeks.
