The Buffalo Bills have promotedย RB Mike Gillislee to their active roster on Friday, according to Joe Buscaglia.

They’ll need to cut someone loose in order to create a roster spot for Gillislee.

The Bills’ practice squad now consists of:

  1. LB A.J. Tarpleyย 
  2. DE Jerel Worthy
  3. DBย Sammy Seamster
  4. WR Walter Powellย 
  5. DE Cedric Reed
  6. TE Nick O’Leary
  7. DB Merrill Noel
  8. G Cyril Richardson
  9. WR Dez Lewis

Gillislee, 23, was a fifth-round pick of the Dolphins in the 2013ย NFL Draft. Heย spent just over two years in Miami before he was among their roster cuts at the start of the regular season.

The Cardinals added Gillislee to their practice squadย a few weeks later before cutting him loose and replacing him withย RB Robert Hughes. The Bills signed him to their practice squad close to a month ago.

Gillislee hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since his rookie season with the Dolphins.
