Tight end Keleki Latu secured a position on the Buffalo Bills' initial 53-man roster following the team's final roster cuts. Latu, who joined the organization last year as an undrafted free agent, spent the weekend waiting for word from the front office before confirming his status. His inclusion marks a shift in team strategy, as the Bills opted to carry four tight ends rather than the more common three. President and general manager Brandon Beane credited the decision to the player's development in run blocking and strength. Latu appeared in five games during the previous season after receiving a call-up due to injury, contributing four catches for 35 yards. He is expected to provide depth behind Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Jackson Hawes.
