Sylvester
Sylvester, who turns 26 on Friday, was a fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/pit/pittsburgh-steelers?ex_cid=null) in 2010. He played in 50 games in four seasons with the Steelers, making two starts. He should compete with Ty Powell (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/16036/ty-powell?ex_cid=null) and rookie Randell Johnson (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/16816/randell-johnson?ex_cid=null) for a role on special teams.
To make room for Sylvester on the 90-man roster, the Bills waived tight endMike Caussin (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13335/mike-caussin?ex_cid=null), who missed each of the past two seasons with injuries. Caussin had been with the Bills since 2010.
