The Bills aren’t taking any chances on special teams as they advance to the divisional round this weekend.
Buffalo is reportedly bringing in kicker Tristan Vizcaino for a tryout. If all goes according to plan, the Bills will sign him and utilize him as the “emergency kicker,” per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
“Free agent K Tristan Vizcaino will be visiting the #Bills today as a tryout and could potentially be their emergency kicker moving forward during playoffs, source said. He’ll have to clear protocols first. Insurance in case COVID-19 or anything else affects the kicker situation,” Rapoport tweeted Monday afternoon.
Vizcaino will backup the Bills’ current starting kicker, Tyler Bass, if he makes the team. First, Vizcaino will have to clear COVID protocols and nail the tryout.
The Bills will try and sign Vizcaino and get him on the roster ahead of this weekend’s divisional round.
