Top Phidarian Mathis News

  • Phidarian Mathis: No longer with Buffalo

    The Bills released Mathis on Tuesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Mathis was reinstated to the Bills' active roster Monday after serving his three-game suspension, but the 2022 second-rounder will not be a member of the team's 53-man roster moving forward. He could remain in Buffalo on the practice squad, but Mathis will have the opportunity to explore his options and should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to the defensive line.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Finishes suspension

    Mathis' three-game suspension has been lifted and the defensive tackle has returned to the Bills' active roster, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reported Monday.

    The Bills get a three-day roster exemption, giving the team until Thursday to reduce the roster to 53 players. Mathis played six regular-season games for the Bills in 2025, logging 13 tackles (four solo) over 119 defensive snaps.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Suspended three games

    The NFL suspended Mathis for the first three games of the 2026 regular season for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Mathis is eligible to play in each of the Bills' three preseason games, with his suspension starting Aug. 30. The 2022 second-rounder will be eligible to make his 2026 regular-season debut in Week 4 against the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 4. Rookie fifth-rounder Zane Durant should see a bump in rotational snaps at defensive end behind starters Ed Oliver and T.J. Sanders while Mathis is serving his suspension.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Re-signs with Buffalo

    The Bills re-signed Mathis to a one-year contract Monday.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Practices in full Thursday

    Mathis (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Mathis has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury after being signed to the active roster Nov. 5. The return to full practice participation is a strong indication that the rotational defensive tackle will be able to take the field for Sunday's matchup with the Steelers.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Limited Wednesday

    Mathis (shoulder) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    The Alabama product has missed the Bills' last two games due to a shoulder injury, but Wednesday's limited session could be an indication he's nearing a return. Mathis likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday to not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Not yet ready to return

    Mathis (shoulder) is inactive for Thursday's Week 12 matchup against Houston.

    Mathis missed Sunday's win against Tampa Bay due to a shoulder issue. He was limited in practice both Tuesday and Wednesday this week, but he's not yet able to return to game action. Mathis began the campaign on IR due to an unrelated calf injury, and he's played in just three games so far this season.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Could return in Week 12

    Mathis (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Texans.

    The 27-year-old logged back-to-back limited sessions to end the Bills' week of practice, giving himself a chance to return in the Week 12 contest. If active Thursday night, Mathis will likely operate as one of Buffalo's top reserve interior defensive linemen.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Limited Tuesday

    Mathis (shoulder) was limited in Tuesday's practice.

    Mathis was unable to suit up for Sunday's Week 11 win over the Bucs, but he appears to have a chance to return for Thursday night against the Texans. Mathis has logged 52 defensive snaps across three appearances this season.

  • Bills' Phidarian Mathis: Won't play vs. Buccaneers

    Mathis (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Mathis played a season-high 21 defensive snaps in Week 10 at Miami, but he'll sit out in Week 11 with a shoulder injury. His absence could open up additional reps on the defensive line for veteran Jordan Phillips.
