Poor Michael Jasper is just never allowed to get comfortable.

After a long, winding college career that saw him play on both sides of the ball for three different colleges, Jasper had to be hoping that he’d finally find some stability when he was drafted by the Buffalo Bills this spring as a defensive tackle.

Sorry, Mike. First, the Bills released Jasper this weekend, putting his fledgling career in flux. Then, he was brought back to the practice squad…but as an offensive tackle rather than a nose tackle? What?

Chan Gailey’s explanation:

- Seventh-round draft pick Michael Japser, who was released yesterday by the team, is apparently headed to the practice squad. From his Twitter feed:

- Secondly, the Bills have reportedly claimed TE Lee Smith off waivers. Smith was a fifth-round draft pick by the Patriots this year, but couldn’t beat out the Pats’ group of talented young tight ends for a job with New England. Since the Bills claimed him, he must be placed on the Bills’ 53-man roster, meaning someone (likely a TE) must be released. Undrafted rookie TE Zach Pianalto has to be the top contender to get the ax, although it wouldn’t shock me if veteran David Martin got the boot instead. Pianalto would be eligible for the practice squad if he were to get released.
