Buffalo Bills roster and injury developments

Overview

The Buffalo Bills are navigating injuries and roster competitions as they prepare for the upcoming season. In mid-August, the team faced challenges on the offensive line after starting center Connor McGovern sustained a lower-body injury, which is expected to keep him sidelined until September. During this period, veteran Lloyd Cushenberry III stepped in to fill the role, earning praise from quarterback Josh Allen.

By late August, the team began finalizing key positions. Alec Anderson, an undrafted player from UCLA, secured the starting left guard position after winning a competition against veteran Austin Corbett; Anderson subsequently signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract extension.

Simultaneously, a competition emerged for the edge rusher position. Reports indicate that fifth-round draft pick Javon Solomon is favored to secure a final roster spot over veteran Mike Danna.
