Davis kicked and punted in high school, but pleas to stake his claim as an emergency leg were rebuffed by his coaches at Temple, Vanderbilt and Kentucky. The Bills finally granted his wish at minicamp, letting him try kickoffs. Bass’ recent injury provided greater opportunity.

The Buffalo Bills have found an unlikely emergency kicker, and he delivered on his first chance against the New York Giants in Preseason Week 1

Davis kicked the first Buffalo extra point of the preseason in the opener against the New York Giants in Orchard Park. With his mouthguard hanging from his facemask, Davis put the extra point through the middle of the uprights.

Caden Davis set the Ole Miss record for field goals of at least 50 yards and was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist for the best college kicker.

Even though Buffalo signed an extra kicker Friday, the Bills turned to running back Ray Davis for their first extra point of the preseason.

The Buffalo Bills began their 2025 NFL preseason journey with a 34-25 Week 1 loss to the New York Giants. It was the final preseason game that will ever be held at Highmark Stadium, but as is usually the case, there were plenty of notes to be made up and down the roster following this preseason outing.

The Buffalo Bills are dealing with a few injuries on the team, one including at the kicker position. Tyler Bass is nursing a pelvic injury, and the Bills had to make a recent signing as insurance. The team announced the signing of Caden Davis to the roster, and he is supposed to kick in their first preseason game against the New York Giants.

The Buffalo Bills make a swift roster adjustment ahead of their preseason opener after Tyler Bass suffers an untimely injury, prompting a temporary change in their kicking lineup.
