The Buffalo Bills only had one tight end active for some games in 2021 then they went out and signed O.J. Howard to pair with Dawson Knox. Under new offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, there has been some thought that the team would go more two-TE sets, and Knox and Howard would fill those roles with help from fullback/H-back Reggie Gilliam. Over the last week, Tommy Sweeney may have played his way into the conversation for a roster spot backing up those three players.
Most initial roster projections had Sweeney on the outside looking in. The former seventh-rounder didn’t really add value on the field and he was used so sparingly, it didn’t make sense.
