‘If the Bills don’t keep Shavers after the preseason he just had, they won’t be able to get him back on their practice squad. He can be a valuable and versatile receiver, but his developing special teams acumen makes him a no-brainer when it comes to roster cuts.’

Bills re-sign fan favorite defensive lineman in surprising reunion
‘The Bills will be without Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht for the first six games of the 2025 season, as both were suspended for PED usage. Phillips brings some familiarity to the Bills depth on the defensive line, and a veteran presence for several rookies.’
Buffalo Bills cut former Kansas City Chiefs running back, five others as final cuts begin
‘Alexander signed with the team last week out of LSU. He had 13 interceptions in college. Young was signed after being released by the Kansas City Chiefs.’
Bills bringing back DT Jordan Phillips, begin cutting down to 53-man roster
‘Phillips has appeared in 61 games with 19 starts in three different stints with the Bills over five seasons. Phillips first came the team in 2018 after starting his career as a second-round pick by the Dolphins. He rejoined the Bills at midseason in 2024, and appeared in seven games, compiling five tackles and one quarterback hit.’
Report: Jordan Phillips is expected to sign with the Bills, again
‘The 2015 second-round pick started his career in Miami. The Dolphins waived him after four games in 2018. That’s when he joined Buffalo, finishing with 19 tackles in 12 games. Phillips returned in 2019, making 31 tackles in 16 games, including 9.5 sacks.’

Deone Walker’s performance in Tampa caps promising preseason for Bills’ draft picks
‘The Bills didn’t get a tackle from Sanders during his brief appearance in the preseason finale Saturday, but he cleared the way for Walker to show why his college coaches expressed confidence that he’ll make an impact as a rookie in the NFL. Tampa Bay’s backup offensive linemen couldn’t win one-on-one blocks against the 6-foot-7, 301-pound mauler.’
Bubble watch: Plenty still at stake for Bills in preseason finale
‘If the Bills were to find a trade partner, that would seem to clear a path for Moore to make the team as the No. 4 receiver. Moore is the top backup to Shakir in the slot. While he’s had some uneven moments in the preseason, including a pair of drops against Chicago, he’s had a good deal of time with the starters, including Allen. After that, the question becomes do the Bills keep five or six players at the position? Special teams will factor into the answer. Shavers again has made a strong push this summer. How much the Bills trust him to be a “core four” special teams player might answer the question of whether he’ll crack the roster. Shenault, meanwhile, has had some nice moments and has been used as the primary kick returner. If the Bills think he can return punts and kicks, it could be enough to convince them to keep six receivers. DuBose suffered an injury to his collarbone in practice that will require surgery.’
Bills Mailbag: With injuries mounting, would a pair of familiar faces provide reinforcements?
‘It’s a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league, Doug. The last time we saw Douglas on the field for the Bills, he struggled in the AFC championship game. Cooper was basically a bust as a trade addition last year. The lack of interest in both of them as free agents speaks loudly. I’ve not followed Simmons’ career closely enough to know whether he would be an upgrade over what the Bills currently have at safety.’

What Buffalo Bills GM revealed about CB Tre’Davious White’s injury
‘“Had a little lower leg injury,” Beane said. We’re not going to say a lot at this point. Hopefully, we’ll get him back when we can. At this point, it’s just a matter of getting him through… He’s getting treatment. We’ll see next week what the timelines are.”‘
