ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) —The Buffalo Bills have claimed second-year offensive tackle Sam Young off of waivers, and released journeyman receiver Ruvell Martin.
Young is listed at 6-foot-8 and 322 pounds, and provides Buffalo a second backup tackle. He was claimed Tuesday, a day after being cut by the Dallas Cowboys. The 2010 sixth-round draft pick out of Notre Dame appeared in two games with the Cowboys last season.
Young’s addition made Martin the odd player out, and leaves the Bills with five receivers, plus wildcat specialist Brad Smith. Martin is a sixth-year player, who signed with the Bills only two weeks ago.
The Bills also added cornerback Doyle Miller to their practice squad three days after cutting the undrafted rookie.
Buffalo opens the regular season at Kansas City on Sunday.
