The Bills opened a roster spot on Tuesday by parting ways with kicker Jordan Gay and they filled it on Wednesday.
The team announced that they have signed tackle Michael Ola off of the Giants practice squad. Ola had joined the Giants last week.
Ola knows Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer from their days in Chicago. Ola started 12 games as a tackle and guard for the Bears in 2014 when Kromer was the offensive coordinator. He was released at the cut to 53 players last year and moved on to start seven games for the Lions.
His arrival comes at a time when the Bills are still waiting for left tackle Cordy Glenn to return from an ankle injury and for tackle Seantrel Henderson to wrap up his four-game suspension.
