Reese originally entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Mississippi in 2023. He saw no action in the regular season last season, but was on the Bills' and New England Patriots' practice squad.
This is Reese's second time on the roster this preseason. He was signed back on Aug. 6 after the Bills placed linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles on Injured Reserve. He was then released on Aug. 14 to make room for the return of safety Wande Owens.
To make room for Reese on the roster this time around, the Bills have released fullback Jackson Acker.
