Hughes has missed just one game during the last decade -- while amassing two double-digit sack seasons and 82 TFLs in his career.
It’s also a return home for Hughes -- a Houston native who starred at TCU.
Hughes, 34, was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 2010 and joined the Bills three seasons later. During his career with the Bills, Hughes finished with 298 total tackles, 53 sacks, and one interception.
