Mike Danna's time with the Buffalo Bills lasted one game.
Buffalo released the veteran outside linebacker Monday as part of a series of roster moves before its Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Bills signed cornerback Anthony Kendall from the practice squad to the active roster and elevated defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis and wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. for the game.
Danna signed a one-year contract with Buffalo in May after six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he made 49 starts, recorded 21.5 sacks and won two Super Bowls.
He made Buffalo's initial 53-man roster but appeared in only one of the Bills' first four games.
Danna played nine defensive snaps in Week 2 after Ed Oliver suffered a hip injury during
pregame warmups against the Detroit Lions.
That turned out to be his only appearance for Buffalo.
Danna leaves the Bills with 88 career games, 49 starts, 194 tackles, 21.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 52 quarterback hits and six forced fumbles.
His only statistical contribution for Buffalo was one quarterback hit.
Buffalo released Danna to make room on the active roster for Kendall as the Bills continue to deal with injuries in the secondary.
Nickel cornerback Dee Alford is questionable against Los Angeles because of an ankle injury.
Kendall, 26, has been on Buffalo's practice squad since the start of the season. He originally signed with the Bills in August before being released during final roster cuts and re-signed to the practice squad.
The former Division III All-American at Baldwin Wallace entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans in 2023. He made the Titans' initial 53-man roster as a rookie and appeared in 16 games, recording nine tackles.
Buffalo also elevated Mathis with Oliver ruled out because of a knee injury. Mathiswas suspended for the first three games of the season.
Sherfield gives the Bills another option at wide receiver with Joshua Palmer ruled out and D.J. Moore questionable because of a shoulder injury.
Bills coach Joe Brady said Saturday that rookie Skyler Bell would also be active against the Rams.
