Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Poyer (shin) will not practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Posts fourth 100-tackle season
Rotowire
Poyer finished the 2023 regular season with 101 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed and one forced fumble over 16 games.
