"Jimmy Ciarlo made quite the first impression this summer after being signed by the Buffalo Bills in early-August. Ciarlo, 24, recorded a big hit on special teams in his first action with the team that drew praise from Sean McDermott on Hard Knocks. "That's a heck of a play, man," McDermott said of Ciarlo's hit in the preseason game against the New York Giants. "I know you just joined us a couple days ago, man, great job. That's playoff-caliber work.""
"Buffalo signed the linebacker to the roster on Saturday after placing rookie cornerback Dorian Strong on the injured reserve with a neck injury. Ciarlo is expected to suit up on Sunday and play on special teams with linebacker Dorian Williams ruled out of action due to a knee injury. Ciarlo is not expected to play on defense when the Bills host the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football, but the linebacker room is dealing with their fair share of injuries."
