Kingsley Jonathan: Bills Practice Squad

[Cuse181]

Sounds like he was a top target for practice squad, hope he gets it

 

[All4SU]

Amazing how difficult it has been over the years to get SU guys to stick on the Bills’ roster.

Accidentally put in another thread but they had a small feature on him last game. He made a couple good plays and at worst he put some good stuff on tape. Hopefully he gets picked up or signed to a practice squad

Claimed by the Bears

I’m a Bears fan, love this. I think he’ll get playing time and then it’s up to him. Coaching staff likes to rotate players to keep them fresh for the end of the game and aren’t afraid of playing “young” players.

Does this mean he gets a guaranteed contract vs. PS gig? If so, great news. I dont know how those contracts work...

This one really wasn't a surprise though, based on pure DL numbers on the Bills roster. Practice squad was always his best case in Buffalo. He made some nice plays in the preseason though and as was said, created enough tape to get noticed, which apparently happened with the Bears.

If he's claimed, he has to go on the 53 man roster.

I'll see the Bills in Hell.

I'll see them wide right of hell

Bears are also thing on D line, similar to SU. So I think he’ll have all the opportunities he can get, this might be the best situation he could have landed in.

Interesting, report at The Athletic said the Bills were hoping to "sneak" him onto the practice squad by not playing him until the 4Q of the last preseason game.

Bears claim 6 players, including Alex Leatherwood, as roster turnover continues

No team in the NFL was more active on the waiver wire than the Bears, a sign that their roster lacks talent.

So how long does he stay on the 53-man? I assume that's a weird waiver wire procedural thing and he'll end up on the Bears PS eventually?

I believe that if they want to move him to the practice squad he would have to clear waivers again.

He'll have to remain on the active roster for at least three games, then Chicago can move him. The Bears basically just pick up the contract he signed with the Bills.

That's awesome, what an opportunity for him.

So Kingsley's worst case scenario is 3 NFL game checks, right?

Kingsley played his first game of the season on Sunday against the Packers. 6 snaps, 1.5 tackles.

edit, was only 1.5 tackles. Weird format on the website.

Kingsley played his first game of the season on Sunday against the Packers. 6 snaps, 2.5 tackles.

A tackle in 50% of the snaps played seems efficient.

But do we know how many minutes he was on the floor?

 

[qdawgg]

Kingsley has still only played the one game for the Bears. Still not sure why b/c they’re thin on the line and they rotate a lot. Hope it’s not a sign he’s not cutting it. He’s still on the roster so at least that’s a positive. Just surprised he hasn’t at least got on the field again.

He did play 9 snaps last week, but didn't have any stats. But at least he got some action. Wonder if the trade of Robert Quinn will lead to some more action?

Oh you know what, the site I’ve been following only lists stats and I kind of took for granted it meant mins played if there were any. That’s good to know, thanks. I keep looking for him during the game but forget sometimes as the tension of watching that team play goes.

He’s played in 3 games, 17 snaps and has 2 tackles.
