A four-year starter at Miami with 156 career tackles, Te'Cory Couch has spent parts of two seasons fighting for a spot in Buffalo's secondary through injury and roster churn.
Te'Cory Couch built a physical, versatile resume at Miami, logging four years and 32 starts as a hybrid defensive back who covered both cornerback and safety. Since going undrafted in 2024, he has cycled through Buffalo's roster and practice squad, including a 2025 season cut short by injury.
Path to the league
Couch played cornerback for the Miami Hurricanes from 2019 to 2023, appearing in all 13 games as a true freshman and finishing his career with 156 tackles and four interceptions across 32 starts. He went undrafted in 2024 and signed with the Bills as a free agent that May.
Career highlights
Couch flashed early in his pro career, recording 12 tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack across three preseason games with Buffalo in 2024. His ability to line up at both cornerback and safety, a skill set he built at Miami, has helped him stick around Buffalo's roster through multiple practice squad cycles.
2025 season recap
Couch's 2025 season was cut short in August when he suffered a hamstring injury during a joint practice with the Chicago Bears, leading to his release with an injury settlement. He returned to Buffalo's practice squad in November 2025 and signed another reserve/futures contract with the team in January 2026.
