Armani Rogers To Have Surgery After Tearing His Achilles
Buffalo Bills reserve tight end Armani Rogers (Achilles) will require surgery after recently tearing his Achilles, according to a league source. The quarterback turned tight end signed a Reserve/Futures deal with the Bills in January after stints with the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, but now he'll be forced to miss all of the 2025 season. The 27-year-old made his NFL debut in 2022 with the Commanders after going undrafted out of college, but he hasn't appeared in an NFL game since. In his 11 games (three starts) back in 2022, he caught just five of six targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns in D.C. Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox remain Buffalo's top two tight ends, while Quintin Morris will be an unrestricted free agent after the Bills chose not to tender him. Zach Davidson is currently the No. 3 TE.
The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that they signed tight end Armani Rogers to a Reserve/Futures deal. Rogers, a former undrafted free agent, hasn't appeared in the NFL since 2022 when he played in 11 games (three starts) for the Washington Commanders. The former quarterback was with the Atlanta Falcons on their practice squad during the 2024 season but wasn't active for any regular-season games. The 27-year-old tore his Achilles in the offseason of 2023. In his 11 games with the Commanders in 2022, he caught five of his six targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns while carrying the ball twice for 26 yards. Rogers now latches on with the Bills but won't be eligible to play at all this postseason. He will continue his development as a pass-catcher into the offseason and will hope to remain with Buffalo through training camp this summer.
Washington Commanders tight end Armani Rogers (Achilles) suffered a non-contact Achilles injury during organized team activities on Tuesday, and there is no timetable for his return. Non-contact injuries are usually never good, so there's a chance Rogers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. The 25-year-old played in his first NFL season in 2022 in Washington and caught just five of six targets for 64 yards in 11 games played (three starts). If he avoided a serious Achilles injury, Rogers is expected to compete for a roster spot as tight end depth behind Logan Thomas and John Bates. We'll have an update on his condition as soon we know more.
