Last night, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Minnesota Vikings 20-16 to improve to 2-0 this preseason. With the first round of NFL roster cuts set to take place 10 days from now, on August 27 (and the second cut-down is four days later, by the way), an updated look at the Bills' total snap counts on offense, defense and special teams is a useful tool for determining which players are getting the longest looks from Buffalo's coaching staff.
The table below includes a column for snaps taken against Minnesota, but for each unit the table is sorted first by player position, then by total snaps taken this preseason.
