Former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele was elevated from the Buffalo Bills' practice squad ahead of the team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets.
A member of Kansas City's Super Bowl LVII roster, Buechele has bounced between the Chiefs and Bills throughout his career.
Initially signing with Kansas City after the 2021 NFL Draft, Buechele played for the Chiefs for two years before joining Buffalo between 2023 and 2025. He reunited with Kansas City briefly last season but was waived and agreed to another contract with Buffalo on January 6, 2026.
NFL insider Aaron Wilson shared the news of Buechele's elevation in a post to his official Twitter account on November 14:

Buechele appeared in one game for the Chiefs last season, completing seven of his 14 pass attempts for 88 yards.
While he isn't expected to take the field for Buffalo in Week 10, Buechele is sure to be ready to take the field if injuries affect the Bills' quarterback situation on Sunday.
