The Buffalo Bills will be without the services of backup quarterback Shane Buechele for a while after the former Kansas City Chiefs signal-caller was placed on injured reserve.
Buechele spent the first two years of his career in Kansas City before being released by the Chiefs after their training camp in 2023. Buffalo quickly picked him up once he hit free agency, and he spent last season on the Bills practice squad.
After placing Buechele on injured reserve, Buffalo signed veteran signal-caller Ben DiNucci to take the former SMU star’s place on its depth chart.
Check out Adam Schefter’s report on the Bills’ roster moves below:

While these events aren’t likely to change Buffalo’s trajectory heading into the 2024 season, Buechele’s absence at Bills practices will be a blow to the team’s preparations over the next few weeks.
Buechele made a name for himself in Kansas City as a preseason standout, but he won’t get his chance to do the same in Buffalo after this most recent injury.
