Makes big second-year leap Bishop recorded 85 tackles (53 solo) including 2.0 sacks, seven passes defensed and three interceptions in 17 regular-season games with Buffalo in 2025.

Impact In his rookie season, Bishop played only a minor role behind starters Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin after being selected in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He took over as a starter himself this year, and he ended up leading the Bills in both total tackles and interceptions. His length, speed and explosiveness make him formidable in coverage, and it's clear he's also a willing tackler. With another year of experience under his belt, he should be part of the IDP discussion in 2026.

Recovered from calf cramps Bishop (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Bills Radio Broadcaster Chris Brown reports.

Impact Bishop experienced cramps in his calf during this past Sunday's win over the Bengals, but he has since recovered. The starting free safety should be available Sunday against the Patriots.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No large concern over cramps Coach Sean McDermott stated earlier this week that Bishop is "okay" after leaving Sunday's game against the Bengals due to cramping, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The cramps must have been really bothering Bishop to leave such a tight game with the Bills' playoff positioning hanging in the balance, but it also doesn't sound like something that will keep the IDP-friendly safety out of further action, which this week's practice reports should confirm. Bishop leads the Bills by a good margin with 71 total tackles on the season, and his three interceptions are tops on the team as well.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with cramps Bishop (undisclosed) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bengals.

Impact Bishop is dealing with some unspecified cramping, placing some doubt on his availability for the rest of the game. In his absence, Sam Franklin and Jordan Hancock are top candidates to see an increase in workload at safety versus Cincinnati.

Tallies four tackles in win Bishop recorded four tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 26-7 win at Pittsburgh.

Impact Bishop's per-snap tackle production in Week 13 was in line with where it has been all season, but the Bills only needed him to play a season-low 40 defensive snaps Sunday. He figures to get a heavy dose of coverage assignments in Week 14 versus the pass-reliant Bengals.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies six stops vs. Houston Bishop logged six tackles (three solo) during the Bills' 23-19 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

Impact Bishop co-led the Bills in tackles Thursday while playing every single defensive snap for the third time in his last four games (and seventh time of the season). The second-year safety has accumulated 34 tackles (20 solo) and six pass defenses (two interceptions) in the five games since the Bill' Week 7 bye.

Nabs another pick in win Bishop recorded six total tackles (three solo) and one interception in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact The second-year pro has nabbed an interception in back-to-back games, picking off Baker Mayfield on a pass intended for Emeka Egbuka in the third quarter of Sunday's win. Bishop has appeared in all 10 of the Bills' games this season, recording 54 total tackles and seven passes defensed, including three interceptions. He's expected to remain one of the team's top defensive playmakers in the Week 12 matchup against the Texans.
