Buffalo, NY — September 23, 2025 — Just hours after being released by the Tennessee Titans, linebacker Otis Reese IV was on a plane north to Western New York, landing a spot on the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad. The move became official Tuesday afternoon as Buffalo shuffled its depth chart, signing Reese while parting ways with cornerback Jalen Kimber.

Reese, an undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss in 2023, has quietly built a résumé of toughness and versatility. Over two seasons with Tennessee, he logged 20 games and five starts, tallying 38 tackles and an interception. At 6’3”, 214 pounds, he fits Buffalo’s need for a rangy linebacker who can contribute both on defense and special teams.
“Getting waived never feels good, but I see this as a fresh start. Buffalo called, and I didn’t think twice. I’m here to compete, learn fast, and prove I belong,” Reese said in a brief statement after arriving at the facility.
For the Bills, the transaction signals a strategic shift. Kimber, a developmental defensive back signed earlier this year, was the odd man out as the team prioritized experience and positional flexibility. Reese’s proven production in live NFL snaps makes him a low-risk, high-upside addition — especially as Buffalo continues to navigate injuries across its roster.
In the short term, Reese will slot into the practice squad and absorb the system. Long term, his physical style and special teams value could put him on track for a game-day elevation — a story of resilience that mirrors Buffalo’s identity as a city and as a team chasing a Super Bowl window.
