Christian Benford to land on the practice squad
“In all likelihood, however, they'll need to add a cornerback to the 53-man roster this week. Whether it's an external addition or a current practice squad member, Buffalo may have to move Benford to IR in order to create a spot.”
Kani Walker to land on the practice squad
“From how it looked during the preseason, Walker seems like the next man up.”
Greg Dortch to land on the practice squad
“In all likelihood, the Bills will call up Greg Dortch from the practice squad to handle punt return duties.”
Sam Franklin Jr. to make the roster
“Special teams ace Sam Franklin's spot is safe... received veteran roster lock treatment as an inactive on Thursday.”
Joe Andreessen to make the roster
“Third-year backup linebacker Joe Andreessen faced some uncertainty over the offseason, but it turns out that he apparently remains in his hometown team's plans... it's likely a sign that he locked up his roster spot”
Kani Walker to make the roster
“The Bills will almost definitely keep a fourth cornerback, and undrafted rookie Kani Walker appears to be the choice.”
Damar Hamlin to make the roster
“his experience has paid dividends this summer, and he's trending toward earning one of four safety spots.”
Ty Johnson to make the roster
“These four Bills' backups appear safe come cutdown day, especially after listening to what head coach Joe Brady and defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard had to say about them. ... RB Ty Johnson”
Javon Solomon to make the roster
“These four Bills' backups appear safe come cutdown day ... He has since, however, made a strong case as to why Buffalo needs to keep him.”
Joe Andreessen to make the roster
“Only days away from the cutdown deadline, it appears as if Andreessen is safe.”
Javon Solomon to make the roster
“Once thought to be on the Bills' roster bubble, it's sounding like Solomon is a lock for the fifth outside linebacker spot.”
