Buffalo Bills roster and practice squad developments

Overview

Following the NFL's initial roster cuts, the Buffalo Bills began managing their practice squad and defensive depth. Due to the presence of international player Travis Clayton, the team was permitted to expand its practice squad to 17 players, which included quarterback Shane Buechel and running back Frank Gore Jr.

Management also addressed competition for the starting cornerback position, weighing the progress of rookie Davison Igbinosun against Maxwell Hairston, who was dealing with a groin injury.

By early September, the Bills finalized their initial 53-man roster and established the 17-man practice squad. The final roster composition included four tight ends and six defensive tackles, though the team notably carried no fullbacks. Additionally, rookie cornerback Toriano Pride Jr. did not make the roster and subsequently joined the Cleveland Browns.
