BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have re-signed linebacker Shawne Merriman despite a nagging Achilles’ tendon injury that prevented him from playing a game for the team over the final two months of the season.

The Bills announced the signing in a text message sent to the media on Saturday, a day before Buffalo (4-11) closes its season at the New York Jets.

The Bills acquired the former star pass-rusher off waivers Nov. 4 after he was released by the San Diego Chargers.

Merriman didn’t make it through his first practice with the Bills before aggravating an Achilles’ tendon injury.

He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Nov. 27.
