The Buffalo Bills included second-year tight end Keleki Latu on their final 53-man roster announced on Sunday. This decision marks a departure from recent strategy, as the team will now carry four tight ends instead of three. Latu earned the roster spot following a strong performance during training camp and the preseason, where he logged six receptions for 53 yards. The move to expand the tight end group follows the team's decision to waive two fullbacks this summer, potentially leaving a vacancy for Latu to fill as a blocker and H-back. Keeping Latu prevents the team from risking his loss on the waiver wire, providing depth behind Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Jackson Hawes.
- •The Bills maintained four tight ends on the 53-man roster for the first time in recent years.
- •Keleki Latu recorded six catches for 53 yards during the preseason.
