Rhodes was just in Buffalo for a visit on Tuesday and will provide some additional depth for a banged-up secondary. 

Buffalo’s practice squad now includes: 

1. QB Matt Barkley
2. OL Greg Mancz
3. OL Alec Anderson
4. RB Duke Johnson
5. WR Tavon Austin
6. WR Isaiah Hodgins
7. DE Mike Love
8. DT C.J. Brewer
9. LB Joe Giles-Harris
10. DB Ja’Marcus Ingram
11. OT Ryan Van Demark
12. TE Zach Davidson
13. CB Kyler McMichael
14. WR Tanner Gentry
15. CB Xavier Rhodes
16. OT Prince Emili

Rhodes, 31, was taken with the No. 25 overall pick in 2013. He played out the final year of his four-year, $7.402 million rookie contract when the Vikings picked up his fifth-year option.

From there, he agreed to a six-year, $78.126 million extension with $41 million guaranteed back in 2017. However, the Vikings released Rhodes last year and he eventually signed a one-year contract with the Colts. He signed another one-year deal worth up to $6.5 million with Indianapolis for 2021. 

In 2021, Rhodes appeared in and started 13 games for the Colts and recorded 39 tackles, one interception, and seven passes defended.
