The Buffalo Bills are expected to sign former Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan on Tuesday, a source confirmed.
NFL Network first reported Ryan's expected signing. The move could create a late-preseason punting competition between Ryan and Colton Schmidt, who has punted for the Bills since 2014.
Schmidt has punted six times this preseason and ranks 13th in net punting average (41.3 yards per punt). Ryan ranks last among NFL punters this preseason in averaging 29.8 net yards per punt.
The Bills lost backup punter Cory Carter to a torn ACL in last Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.
