The Bills signed defensive end Jonathan Woodard to their practice squad on Wednesday. The moves comes as a replacement for defender Eddie Yarbrough.
Yarbrough cracked the Bills’ 53-man roster in 2017 and 2018, but remained on the practice squad this season. In that role, a player is allowed to be signed by any other team, with the stipulation that the player is signed to their active roster.
A team came calling this week in the Minnesota Vikings. Yarbrough joined the playoff-bound Vikes this week and is no longer on the Bills.
On his way out, Yarbrough took to his social media account on Instagram to thank the Bills and Bills Mafia which started out, “Word can’t describe what the city, team, and entire Buffalo Bills organization has meant to me…”
Here’s his full post:
On Woodard, he was a seventh-round pick of the Jaguars in 2016 and suffered an Achilles injury soon after. From there, he spent time on the Falcons and Dolphins via their practice squads. He did see six games on Miami’s active roster in 2018 and has 10 career tackles and one sack.
