The Buffalo Bills have added to their linebacker room ahead of their sixth training camp practice at St. John Fisher University.

Otis Reese IV — a tryout player on Wednesday — is in, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is now on IR.

Flannigan-Fowles, a veteran linebacker, who previously played for the 49ers and Giants, left practice on Tuesday with an undisclosed injury.

While rookie linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr has turned heads in his first Bills training camp, Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams got a late start to camp last week as they were dealing with injuries. They’re now fully healthy. Joe Andreessen and Keonta Jenkins previously filled out the rest of the linebacker room with Flannigan-Fowles.

Now the latter’s roster spot will be taken by Reese IV.
