Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that the Buffalo Bills have released running back Chad Simpson.
Simpson rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on 26 preseason carries, and also added 10 receiving yards on two receptions. He was part of an ugly-looking hit in which he and Cincinnati corner Brandon Ghee collided helmet-to-helmet, but he was fine, playing and scoring in the preseason finale.
Buffalo's all set with their top three running backs, so Simpson was a longshot anyway. Joique Bell's strong preseason sealed his fate; it's still unclear whether or not Bell, an undrafted rookie out of Wayne State, will make the team. Stay tuned for more roster cuts and other Bills news throughout the day.
