‘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.’

‘Bishop made quite a statement, with the caveat that the Buccaneers had no starters in the game.’

With Josh Allen sitting out, Shane Buechele leads Bills to a 23-19 preseason victory over the Bucs
‘Buechele won’t get a chance in Buffalo behind reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen, Mitchell Trubisky and Mike White. But a 25-for-30 performance — albeit against backups — could land him on the practice squad or with another organization.’
Buffalo Bills final 2025 projected roster
‘Sean McDermott said that they are trying to figure out the room behind the top three (Shakir, Coleman and Palmer) and there are still some major lingering question marks. Curtis Samuel’s job security is in question after missing most of training camp with a hamstring injury and then sitting out all three preseason games, including Saturday’s game with an illness. Shavers had a 53-man roster worthy performance in the final preseason game.’
Bills’ QB Josh Allen makes personal history ahead of biggest season of Buffalo career
‘He’s already historic. He has put up 40-plus total touchdowns in each of the past five seasons, the longest such streak in league history, per Saturday night’s CBS broadcast.’
Game Day: Bills take down the Bucs 23-19
‘The offense got to work right away and closed the book early on if it would be another shutout. Frank Gore Jr. punched in it for six and caped off a 12 play, 80 yard drive. Bills lead 7-0 with 5:32 remaining in the 1st quarter.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Buccaneers preseason
‘It appears as though there were no significant injuries to any Bills players, a welcome outcome for a team dealing with several of them right now.’
McDermott calls coaching this years Bills team a true joy
‘With roster cut down day coming next week, McDermott spoke on what he saw tonight. “Just fun to watch these guys go play and lay it on the line, we’ve got tough decisions to make. I want for all these guys to play in the league. It’s been fun to coach them and a real joy.”’
What we think the Buffalo Bills 53-man roster will look like
‘So that brings us to Shavers, who found himself in an eerily similar position last year. I thought he did enough to make the 53-man roster last year and feel the same way one year later. Quite frankly, his ridiculous one-handed touchdown sealed the deal. It was also important to see Shavers get some special teams reps in the preseason finale because if the team keeps six wide receivers, they’ll need someone to play on the coverage units for punts and kickoffs.’
