The Buffalo Bills currently have four running backs who have been with the team since the 2023 season, including Latavius Murray and Leonard Fournette, both of whom have not played since then. New addition Ian Wheeler, a 24-year-old running back signed in June 2026 after a stint in the UFL, showed promise with strong performance in the league, including being named MVP in the UFL Championship Game. Despite the Bills’ established depth chart, Wheeler’s speed and potential could make him a contender for a roster spot, likely competing with Frank Gore Jr. for a position. His explosive play might earn him a place on the practice squad or another team if he does not make the final roster.
