Bills pluck Jordan Mills from Lions’ practice squad

Tackle Jordan Mills has gone from two-year starter in Chicago to practice-squad participant in Detroit.

Now, Mills gets a chance to join another 53-man roster; per a league source, the Bills have signed Mills from the Lions’ practice squad.

Mills started 29 games in two seasons with the Bears. He was claimed on waivers by the Cowboys, who would later cut him loose. He thereafter landed in Detroit as one of the up to 10 extra players who aren’t actually on the roster.

Bills tackle Seantrel Henderson exit Sunday’s loss to the Bengals with a concussion, so Mills gives them depth in the event Henderson misses time.

  1. They’d have been better off putting a burlap sack of potatoes out there. Mills is a turnstile – who, surprisingly – keeps getting work.

  2. I thought if you had a certain amount of time on the 53 man roster you couldn’t be on the Practice Squad. Anyone know the rule of the top of their head?

  3. Practice squads can have up to two players with no more than two years of accrued free agency credit.

    Believe its 3 years but not 100% sure of that.

  6. Given that none of the Bills starters can play more than one game without getting injured they didn’t have much choice but to sign someone. I don’t know anything about this guy but hopefully he can make some plays.

  7. That’s a terrible pick-up…more telling than a practice squad player, look at the tape of his days in Chicago, what a joke for an OLineman.
