On Thursday, the Bills confirmed speculations by signing Shaud to their 53-man roster. An undrafted rookie out of Alabama in 2004, he played in 25 games from 2004-06 with 89 carries for 330 yards and two touchdowns.

Another roster move for the Bills was the placing of backup running back Anthony Thomas to the teams injured reserve list. Thomas tore a calf muscle two weeks ago in a 36-14 loss at Jacksonville.
