Christian Kirksey’s career with the Buffalo Bills will go down as uneventful.
On Thursday, the team has announced that Kirksey has decided to retire from the NFL.
Following roster cuts at the end of training camp, Kirksey signed to Buffalo’s practice squad. At the time, the Bills did not have a very clear answer at linebacker in their quest to replace Tremaine Edmunds and the 31-year-old felt as a potential plug-and-play starter.
Instead, Terrel Bernard has started the first two games of Buffalo’s season after not playing at all in the preseason due to a hamstring injury. Bernard recorded his first-career interception last weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders.
With Kirksey out, AJ Klein has taken his spot on the practice squad. The team announced that Klein has signed in Buffalo once again.
Klein, 32, was with the Bills this summer in training camp but was released at the end of August. He has had multiple stints with the team previously.
