The Bills have placed Meeks on IR due to a neck injury, ESPN's Mike Rodak reports. Meeks was picked by the team in the fifth round last season, but so far he's been able to play just eight games as a reserve.

Second-year SS Jonathan Meeks "could push for the starting spot" opposite Aaron Williams.

Bills GM Doug Whaley mentioned S Jonathan Meeks as a candidate to start opposite Aaron Williams. A 2013 fifth-round pick, Meeks appeared in just eight games as a rookie and spent most of the season on injured reserve. The Bills are considering Meeks, Duke Williams, and Corey Graham as in-house candidates to replace Jairus Byrd, but haven't ruled out adding a safety in the draft.

Bills activated S Jonathan Meeks (ankle) from injured reserve/designated to return. A fifth-round rookie, Meeks was contributing special teams before going down in early October. He's unlikely to see much, if any, time on defense over the season's final three weeks.

Bills placed S Jonathan Meeks on injured reserve/designated to return with an ankle injury. The fifth-round rookie has been limited to special teams this season. He'll be eligible to resume practicing in Week 13, and playing in Week 15.

Bills agreed to terms with No. 143 overall pick S Jonathan Meeks on a four-year contract. Meeks is a 6-foot-1, 209-pound thumper, but the presence of fellow rookie S Duke Williams means he's unlikely to see much time on defense in 2013. Meeks has the skills to eventually crack the secondary, but should focus on special teams this season.
