ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – The Buffalo Bills placed linebacker Kawika Mitchell on injured reserve on Friday, two days after the seven-year veteran hurt his foot in practice.
A backup to Andra Davis, Mitchell was coming back from a right knee injury that forced him to miss the final 11 games last season after he went on IR.
To replace Mitchell, the Bills signed free-agent linebacker Akin Ayodele. Ayodele, who practiced with the team Friday, is entering his ninth season. He joins the Bills after being released by Denver last month.
Ayodele started 15 games last year with the Miami Dolphins, who the Bills open their season against on Sunday.
