Projecting the Buffalo Bills 53-man roster following the end of the preseason

Key Points:

• The Buffalo Bills need to reduce their roster from 90 to 53 players by Sunday, with General Manager Brandon Beane indicating about 50 spots are nearly locked in.
• Injured players expected to be placed on injured reserve or PUP lists include rookie offensive linemen Jude Bowry and Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, and possibly linebacker Joe Andreessen.
• Key offensive roster spots likely include quarterbacks Josh Allen and Kyle Allen, running backs James Cook, Ray Davis, and Ty Johnson, tight ends Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Jackson Hawes, and a wide receiver group led by DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir.
• On defense, the Bills are projected to keep a strong group of outside linebackers, inside linebackers, defensive linemen, cornerbacks, and safeties, with notable inclusions like Greg Rousseau, Bradley Chubb, Ed Oliver, Christian Benford, and Damar Hamlin.
• The team is expected to finalize specialists with Tyler Bass (kicker), Tommy Doman (punter), and Reid Ferguson (long snapper), and may look to add a punt returner, which could influence final roster cuts.
