Reese IV 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 on August 6th after the Bills placed linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles on injured reserve. Then on August 14th, Reese was released to make room for safety Wande Owens.
To make room for Reese IV on the roster, the Bills have released fullback Jackson Acker.
