Examining Buffalo’s 53-man roster
Among the names released by the Bills, tight end O.J. Howard was perhaps the biggest surprise, not because of his performance (he struggled during the offseason, training camp, and the preseason), but because the Bills have to swallow the guaranteed money in his contract. Besides Howard, wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins, defensive tackle Brandin Bryant, cornerback Nick McCloud, and running back Raheem Blackshear were among those players cut on Tuesday.

Tre’Davious White placed on PUP list
Besides setting their 53-man roster heading into the season, the Bills also made a roster move concerning their Pro Bowl cornerback, Tre’Davious White, placing him on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The move means White will be sidelined for at least Buffalo’s first four games, with the Bills Week 5 clash vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers the earliest White could be eligible to return.
