Jordan Poyer - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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 seed Broncos. Without the 10th-year veteran, Jordan Hancock will likely get the start at safety. Poyer has 70 tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three pass breakups, including one interception.

Won't return versus Jacksonville Poyer (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card game versus the Jaguars.

Impact 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 has been a weak Buffalo defense this season.

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

Impact 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.

Jordan Poyer injury update: Latest news on Bills DB's status in wild-card game | Sporting News Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer is dealing with an injury in the first half of the wild-card game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

JANUARY 11 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

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

Impact 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.

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.

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

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

Impact 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.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

Sidelined Wednesday Poyer (hamstring) won't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The 34-year-old was sidelined for the Week 17 loss to the Eagles due to a hamstring issue, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still dealing with the injury. Poyer likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation in Sunday's matchup against the Jets, though he may be rested with the Patriots having already secured the AFC East title.

Won't suit up Week 17 Poyer (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Poyer suffered a hamstring injury last Sunday against Cleveland. In his return to Buffalo this season, the veteran safety been an integral part of the Bills' defense, starting nine of 10 games since making his season debut Week 6.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Poyer (hamstring) was a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact The veteran from Oregon State was deemed day-to-day with a hamstring issue following the Week 16 win over the Browns, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. Poyer has been an integral part of Buffalo's secondary this season, recording 70 total tackles and three passes defensed, including an interception, over 10 appearances. If he's sidelined for the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, Jordan Hancock will likely operate as the Bills' top strong safety.
