Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Buechele will be out for an extended amount of time after sustaining a neck injury in Saturday's 33-6 preseason loss to the Bears, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Buechele took over under center in the second half of Saturday's contest after Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky handled snaps in the first half. Buechele finished the contest completing six of 10 passes for 53 yards and one interception while adding 22 rushing yards on three carries. The Bills brought in Ben DiNucci to take snaps with the second- and third-team offenses while Buechele is sidelined.

The Bills signed Buechele to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Buechele will stay in Buffalo after spending the entirety of the season on its practice squad. The 26-year-old will likely spend the summer competing for a backup role behind Josh Allen, though Kyle Allen is still in the mix at the present time.

Shane Buechele: Does not make cut
Rotowire
Buechele was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday.
Blaine Gabbert was always the likely backup to Patrick Mahomes under center, so this is a relatively unsurprising move by the Chiefs. The 25-year-old has not suited up for an NFL game during his tenure in the league, but he did spend the majority of the 2021 season on Kansas City's practice squad. It remains to be seen if he will get another opportunity there.
