The Buffalo Bills have brought back a familiar face and fan favorite: safety Micah Hyde.
Hyde, 33, had been a free agent since the end of last season. Since then, Hyde had said he would just sign for the bills and he kept his word.
Hyde goes back to Buffalo and will start on the team's practice squad. At this early stage it is unclear what his immediate role will be:

Hyde originally spent 2017 through 2023 in Buffalo. After starting his career with the Green Bay Packers, Hyde signed with Buffalo via free agency.
In those seven seasons, Hyde was a two-time All-Pro with the Bills. During this past offseason and the early stages of the 2024 season, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane left the door open for Hyde to possibly return.
The Bills' starting safeties are currently Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin. It's hard to imagine Hyde stepping straight into the No. 1 role after this pair has taken the most snaps so far this season. Regardless, Hyde provides depth for the team's upcoming postseason run.
We will provide further updates as information becomes available.
