Bills wanted the eight seasons of experience that Kelly Holcomb, set free by the Browns, could offer to help prop up Losman as a first-year starter.

‘Prioleau’s signing reunites him with Redskins assistant coaches Gregg Williams and Steve Jackson, who both coached him in Buffalo. Prioleau will compete with starters Sean Taylor and Matt Bowen for playing time.’

‘The Bills will open the preseason at Indianapolis and will host Green Bay in the second week of the preseason. Buffalo will then travel to Chicago before closing out the preseason at home vs. Detroit.’

‘It will be the first time the Packers and Bills have met in the preseason since 1997, when the two teams played in Toronto.’

‘Prioleau spent the past four seasons with Buffalo and last year finished with 38 tackles and one fumble recovery in 16 games.’

‘During his time in Buffalo, he played for Redskins assistant head coach-defense Gregg Williams and safeties coach Steve Jackson.’

‘The dates and times of the games have not yet been announced.’
