Bills Eyeing Ex-Lions Starting Defensive Tackle

Former Detroit Lions defensive tackle Benito Jones participated in a tryout with the Buffalo Bills ahead of Week 3, according to the NFL transaction wire. Jones was one of five defensive tackles evaluated by the team, though Buffalo ultimately chose to sign Austin Johnson to their practice squad instead.

Jones remains a free agent following his release from the Las Vegas Raiders during training camp in August. Prior to his Bills tryout, Jones also worked out for the Houston Texans earlier in the week, following previous career stints with both the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions.
