Enemkpali, 25, recorded 13 combined tackles in 11 games for the Bills last season. He was recently in the news for an unfortunate incident of déjà vu.
Buffalo’s linebacker depth is now in dire straits, especially coupled with the losses of Reggie Ragland to a season-ending partial ACL tear and Shaq Lawson to a shoulder injury threatening to keep him out for several more months. The recent signing of Brandon Spikes should help some, but it still looks like Ryan has his work cut out for him to cobble together a serviceable linebacker rotation for next season.
