According to Sal Capaccio, the Buffalo Bills are signing DT Eli Ankou to their practice squad.
The move comes after the team placed DT Star Lotulelei on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Sunday.
The Bills have to make a move on their practice squad that includes:
- QB Jake Fromm
- WR Tanner Gentry
- LB Joe Giles-Harris
- DB Olaijah Griffin
- WR Isaiah Hodgins
- DE Mike Love
- TE Quintin Morris

- DB Rachad Wildgoose
- RB Antonio Williams
- TE Kahale Warring
- OT Evin Ksiezarczyk
- G Jacob Capra
- WR Austin Proehl
- DB Nick McCloud
- DT Eli Ankou
Ankou, 27, originally signed on with the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA back in 2017. He spent just over four months in Houston before he was waived at the start of the regular season and later claimed by the Jaguars.
Jacksonville cut Ankou loose coming out of the preseason in 2019 and later re-signed him to their practice squad. He was later waived by the Browns before being claimed by the Colts.
From there, Ankou had brief stints with the Texans, Cowboys, Falcons, Bills and Falcons before signing on with the Steelers a few months ago. He was released soon after.
In 2020, Ankou appeared in seven games for the Cowboys and recorded five tackles and no tackles for loss or sacks.
