The Buffalo Bills released 11 players on Monday morning, bringing their active roster down to 75 players in advance of Tuesday's initial roster cut deadline. That list of 75 players includes linebacker Kiko Alonso, who remains on the Active/Non-Football Injury list as the team holds off on putting him on a season-ending list for as long as possible.
That leaves the Bills, then, with 74 healthy players that have the remainder of this week - which includes Thursday evening's preseason finale against the Detroit Lions - to make their final case for the final, 53-man roster that will be finalized by this Saturday afternoon. With the first round of cuts out of the way, let's update the team's (unofficial) depth chart.
