The Bills elevated Judon from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Judon is set to play in his first game for the Bills on Sunday. The veteran defensive end will likely see rotational snaps on the defensive line due to the injuries to Joey Bosa (hamstring), DaQuan Jones (calf), Deone Walker (illness) and Jordan Phillips (ankle).

Judon signed with the Bills' practice squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old edge rusher was dropped by the Dolphins on Dec. 17 but has already found a new home in Buffalo. Judon had an underwhelming 2025 campaign with the Dolphins, appearing in 13 games and recording just 19 total tackles with no sacks. Now in Buffalo, he'll add a veteran presence to the team's pass-rush unit and be available for the final regular-season games and the postseason, assuming the Bills qualify.

Judon intends to sign with Buffalo's practice squad, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judon was waived by the Dolphins on Wednesday. He could provide valuable pass-rush support to Buffalo's playoff push once he's up to speed with the Bills, assuming his signing is made official.

The Dolphins waived Judon on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old appeared in 13 games with the Dolphins before being waived on Wednesday, recording 19 total tackles and one pass defensed. Judon has been a very productive pass rusher over the course of his 10-year NFL career, totaling 72.0 sacks. Now a free agent, he could be picked up by a team in need of edge-rusher depth in the near future.

Judon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Judon has worked in a rotational role at defensive end through the first six games of the regular season, accumulating six tackles (three solo) over that span. He will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's road game, which gives Kenneth Grant, Matthew Butler and rookie fifth-rounder Jordan Phillips more opportunities for snaps on the Dolphins' defensive line.

The Dolphins are slated to sign Judon to a one-year contract worth up to $6 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judon was brought in for a visit with the Dolphins on Monday, and the meeting between the two sides went well enough for the veteran edge rusher to stick around in Miami. The 2016 fifth-rounder is coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign with the Falcons, when he finished with 41 tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and five pass defenses (including a pick-six) across 17 regular-season games. Judon won't be brought in to serve in an every-down role, but he should get some rotational work at edge rusher with starters Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson.

Judon, who is a free agent, is visiting with the Dolphins on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Judon spent the 2024 season with the Falcons, appearing in all 17 regular-season games (15 starts), and registered 41 tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and five pass breakups, including one interception, which Judon returned 27 yards for a touchdown. Judon has certainly lost a step at 33 years old and can't be relied upon as an every-down edge player at this stage of his career, but he still may have some pass-rush juice left in a sub-package role.

Judon finished the 2024 season with 41 total tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed, including an interception, over 17 games.
EDGE Analysis
Judon was traded to the Falcons in August after three seasons with the Patriots, ultimately appearing in all 17 contests with Atlanta. The linebacker was unable to replicate his production from his time in New England though, securing just 5.5 sacks with the Falcons after compiling 32.0 sacks over 38 games with the Patriots. However, Judon did snatch his first career interception in Week 16 versus the Giants, returning it for a touchdown. The 32-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and he'll likely have many suitors interested in signing him.

Judon recorded four total tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday night's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Judon has been a key contributor to Atlanta's defensive success in his first season as a Falcon, recording 39 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and one pick-six while appearing in all 16 of the team's regular-season games thus far. However, his sack total has decreased substantially in 2024, compared to the 15.5 and 12.5 sacks tallied in his last two full seasons in the NFL. He'll aim to wreak havoc and disrupt Bryce Young when the Panthers visit Atlanta in Week 18.

Judon recorded two tackles (two solo), with 1.0 sacks, during the Falcons' 42-21 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Judon recorded one of Atlanta's four sacks of Sam Darnold during Sunday's loss. Judon has struggled so far this season, logging just 3.5 sacks in 13 games which is less than his total from last season, where he had 4.0 across just four games appearances.
