Back with Buffalo
Klein was signed to the practice squad Thursday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Considering how inexperienced the Bills are at linebacker following the free-agency departure of Tremaine Edmunds, it was a bit of a surprise the veteran Klein -- who is also a good special teams player -- was cut ahead of the season. We wouldn't be surprised to see him suiting up for Buffalo before the end of the season.

Juan Carlos Blanco breaks down a busy Week 14 injury report that features several notable returns but multiple potential fantasy-relevant absences as well.

The Dallas defense isn't any good, but it might have found itself a good starter in second-year safety Donovan Wilson, who's been a DB1 since entering the starting lineup.

During his first four years with the Saints, Klein only started in 38.3 percent of the games he appeared in, but he's steadily grown into an IDP consideration because of his ability to make statistical contributions in a myriad of different ways. He has developed into a full-time contributor for New Orleans over the past two years, making 28 starts out of a possible 32, while collecting a combined 124 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, seven QB hits, four sacks and two fumble recoveries during that span.
