Top Jordan Poyer News

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Continues to produce in Buffalo

    Poyer (hamstring) logged 70 total tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 10 regular-season games in 2025.

    The 34-year-old safety from Oregon State began the season on Buffalo's practice squad, but a season-ending injury to Taylor Rapp (knee) allowed Poyer to play a larger defensive role. After returning to the starting lineup in the Week 8 matchup against the Panthers, Poyer emerged as one of the Bills' top tacklers, finishing with the second-most stops on the team. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, he could return to Buffalo as a reliable depth option if injuries impact the secondary again in 2026. Poyer played in the Bills' first playoff game against the Jaguars, but he suffered a hamstring injury in that game and was unable to play in the divisional round.

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Out for divisional round

    Poyer (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

    Poyer suffered a hamstring injury during the Bills' wild-card matchup against the Jaguars and will miss the second round of the playoffs. The 34-year-old is considered week to week and could be available to return in the AFC Championship Game should Buffalo beat the No.1-seeded Broncos. With the 10-year veteran unavailable, Jordan Hancock will likely get the start in his stead. Poyer recorded 70 tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including one interception, across 10 games during the regular season.

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Won't return versus Jacksonville

    Poyer (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card game versus the Jaguars.

    Poyer has been a stalwart during his lengthy time spent in Buffalo, and he tallied 70 tackles and three passes defended over 10 regular-season appearances in 2025. If the Bills advance, it will be worth monitoring Poyer's availability for what will be a tough road challenge vs. the Broncos or Patriots.

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Exits with injury Sunday

    Poyer is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card matchup versus the Jaguars with a hamstring injury.

    Poyer recorded two tackles before exiting during the first half. The 34-year-old missed the final two games of the regular season with a hamstring issue, but he was not listed with an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game. With Poyer out for the time being, Cam Lewis and/or Sam Franklin will likely see increased playing time.

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Cleared for wild-card round

    Poyer (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the Jaguars.

    Poyer upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday. He's ready to return for his first game action since Week 16. The starting strong safety produced 70 tackles (31 solo) and had one interception among his three passes defensed across 10 regular-season appearances.

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Feels ready to play

    Poyer (hamstring) says that he feels ready to suit up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Poyer was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, so his optimistic words seem to be reflected in his on-field performances. A reunion with Cole Bishop in the secondary would reignite a safety tandem that helped turn the Bills into one of the most dominant pass defenses in the latter half of the 2025 season.

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Listed as limited Wednesday

    Poyer (hamstring) will be listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Poyer closed out the regular season with back-to-back absences due to a hamstring injury, but Buffalo will hope to have the starting safety back in action for Sunday's wild-card round matchup on the road against Jacksonville. Cam Lewis will figure to handle an expanded role on defense versus the Jaguars in the event that Poyer can't go.

  • Bills' Jordan Poyer: Ruled out for Week 18

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Poyer (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

    Poyer will miss a second consecutive contest to close out the regular season. Buffalo will hope to have the starting safety back on the field in time for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs. Across his 10 regular-season appearances in 2025, Poyer racked up 70 tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, plus three passes defensed, including one interception.
