Bills 53-man roster surprises after NFL cutdown day

Key Points:

• The Buffalo Bills finalized their initial 53-man roster, making surprising decisions such as releasing wide receiver Trent Sherfield and cutting fullback Ben VanSumeren in favor of a fourth tight end, Keleki Latu.
• Two rookie offensive linemen, Jude Bowry and Ar’Maj Reed-Adams, made the roster over previous draft picks, while Sedrick Van Pran-Granger was traded to the Colts, a move seen as good business by the team.
• Defensive roster moves included keeping six outside linebackers, including Javon Solomon and Mike Danna, and retaining both Greg Gaines and DeWayne Carter on the interior defensive line despite initial doubts.
• The Bills kept only three true boundary cornerbacks, suggesting a need for veteran reinforcement at the position, with undrafted rookie Kani Walker likely headed to the practice squad after being edged out.
• Key players like Trent Sherfield may be re-signed to the practice squad, and the team is expected to pursue veteran cornerbacks to bolster depth, reflecting cautious roster management ahead of the season.
