BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — According to ESPN's Adam Schefter the Buffalo Bills are planning to sign veteran running back Devonta Freeman to their practice squad.

The move comes less than 24 hours after learning the team would be without rookie running back Zack Moss for the remainder of the season. Moss suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's win against the Colts and was carted off the field in the fourth quarter.

Freeman, 28, played in five games this year with the New York Giants rushing for 172 yards and a touchdown. Freeman was placed on injured reserve in November with an ankle injury.

Before joining the Giants, Freeman spent six years with the Atlanta Falcons and was selected to the Pro Bowl twice.
