Bills final 53-man roster projection: Does local fan favorite LB make squad?
‘Fans are hoping to see Joe Andreessen, known as “Buffalo Joe” by his teammates, make the final roster. Andreessen makes the cut here based on his instincts and ability to stop the run.

Return to preferred position could take Bills' Greg Rousseau to next level
‘The 2021 first-round pick played almost exclusively on the left side during his first two NFL seasons, but with Leonard Floyd and Von Miller favoring that position, Rousseau was moved around frequently last season, finishing with five sacks, down from eight in 2022. With Floyd off to San Francisco, Rousseau is back in his natural spot and that could help him get to the quarterback more often.’

Buffalo Bills rookie Tylan Grable makes a strong push for roster spot
‘Facing the Chicago Bears to start the preseason, many of the aspects Tylan Grable needed development in flashed on tape. He needed more power to his punches and better placement, he lunged in both pass protection and the run game, and he had inconsistency in his set angles. But he improved from week 1 vs the Bears, to week 2 vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, and continued that improvement in the Bills preseason finale in week 3 vs the Carolina Panthers.’
Buffalo born Joe Andreessen sees roster odds rise with Buffalo Bills

‘Ben DiNucci showed me enough in two preseason games to believe he can be a good bridge at backup QB to start the season. It was difficult to keep Zach Davidson off the list. I really wanted to go with four tight ends and just five receivers, but I don’t think the Bills will do that.’
