Tight end Michael Matthews has been claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills, one day after he was released by the Detroit Lions.

The fourth-year pro will be reunited with first-year Bills coach Chan Gailey, who was his head coach at Georgia Tech. Matthews broke into the league with the New York Giants in 2007 as an undrafted rookie free agent.

After playing two seasons with the Giants, he split parts of the past two years with New England and Detroit. He appeared in only three games with the Lions last season.

Listed at 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds, Matthews has eight catches for 54 yards in 39 career games.
