Shaq Thompson Returns to Bills | NFL News

Veteran linebacker Shaq Thompson is back with the Buffalo Bills on a practice squad deal after four months as a free agent, echoing Jordan Poyer’s path to becoming a key contributor. A former first-round pick, Thompson brings 135 career games and 118 starts, including 12 games last season with 56 tackles and playoff impact—13 tackles, 2 TFLs, and an interception. Known for his toughness and “walk if I can” mentality, he’s poised to fill critical depth at linebacker, where only four off-ball players remain on the roster. With starters Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams vulnerable to injury, Thompson’s experience and familiarity with the Bills’ system make him a vital insurance policy—and eligible for three gameday elevations before needing a roster spot.
