The Buffalo Bills have begun the process of cutting their roster to 53 players, cutting seven players from the roster on Sunday. Those players are cornerback Zy Alexander, offensive lineman Rush Reimer, running back Elijah Young, tight end Matt Sokol, defensive back Garnett Hollis Jr., defensive end Nelson Ceaser, and safety Tre Herndon (per Sal Capaccio). The team also waived wideout Grant Dubose with an injury designation.

All eight of the players released are subject to the waiver process, meaning that all 31 other clubs will have the chance to claim them and add them to their own 53-man rosters...

Preseason football is over and NFL teams are juggling roster decisions like never before. A big part of that process involves designations like the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP) and Injured Reserve (IR). These terms get thrown around a lot, but the differences between them can have an impact on who’s available once the regular season starts.

Let’s review the key points for both the PUP list and IR…

The Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List

There are two types of PUP: active/PUP and reserve/PUP.

• Active/PUP is for players who report to training camp with an...

For years, the Buffalo Bills were spoiled by the elite safety play of Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. With two All-Pro-caliber players as the last defense of the stop unit, the Bills had a luxury that most teams did not. Hyde and Poyer could switch roles at will, another underrated value they provided. It made opponents hesitate to see which one of them would cover which spot, as they could just as easily be a deep-third player as they could cover an intermediate zone, or even come on a blitz.

Since Hyde and Poyer left the team, the Bills have...

As the Buffalo Bills prepared for Saturday night’s preseason finale with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, everyone was focused on second-year safety Cole Bishop. The former second-round pick had a relatively rough outing last weekend against the Chicago Bears, causing a bit of panic among some Bills fans.

To add a bit of context to Bishop’s poor performance against the Bears, he had missed the previous three weeks of practice with a leg injury. Bishop got some time in the joint practice with Chicago, so it was understandable that he might be a bit rusty heading into his preseason debut. Bishop...

The Buffalo Bills earned their first win of the 2025 NFL preseason Saturday night, holding off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a score of 23-19 to conclude the preseason with a 1-2 record.

The Bills rested nearly all of their presumptive starters, with the exception of safety Cole Bishop, who bounced back from a lackluster effort in Week 2 of the preseason with a confidence-inducing performance in Tampa.

With roster cuts coming by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. EDT deadline, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with observations and analysis from Buffalo’s first win of the preseason, which was fueled by...

The Buffalo Bills have over 40 players who could be subject to waivers as they look to cut down from 90 players to 53 by the August 26 deadline and beyond.

Of course, several players on their rookie contracts should be safe from getting waived, such as wide receiver Keon Coleman. But, if any of these players are waived this week, they will be subject to the waiver wire pool and can be claimed by another team.

If not, they can be a part of Buffalo’s 16-man practice squad, which will likely be finalized the day after the cutdown date....

The Buffalo Bills used a tight end to punt on Saturday but no running back kicked field goals. Sorry Ray Davis, but the Bills’ kicker took care of it. Tyler Bass nailed a 37-yard field goal to take a 17-10 lead into the locker room at halftime. A 39-yard kick in the second half solidified it. Bass is back.

Bass missed most of training camp with a groin injury, including the last two preseason games and the public practice, but was able to get close enough during the preseason for Buffalo to release the other kicker on the roster (Caden...

It’s game night, Bills Mafia! The Buffalo Bills’ final preseason game is finally here after what seems like an endless summer of practice football. If only the summer weather could stick around a few months longer up north, but then that wouldn’t be Bills Country. Right?

Don’t expect a lot in the way of game-planning and deep looks into the playbook on defense or offense. Actually, I wouldn’t count on anything of substance being revealed tonight, simply because the Bills face the Buccaneers later this year during the regular season. There’s no need to give them something to plan for...

The Buffalo Bills are in Florida this evening for a scrimmage against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and looking to find answers to their final roster questions ahead of NFL cutdowns on Tuesday, August 26. If you’re not up for braving the elements this evening, you can follow along from home, with your phone on the go, or anywhere you find a radio.

Here are all the ways to stay tuned-in to this evening’s action between the Bills and Buccaneers…

Here are all the ways Bills Mafia can watch, listen, and follow along with Week 3 of the NFL preseason from...

The Buffalo Bills take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 7:30 p.m. EDT tonight in the final preseason game for both teams.

NFL teams have until 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday to trim their rosters down to 53 players, and tonight’s game represents the last meaningful opportunity for those players on the roster bubble to make a great impression on general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott in their bid to earn a roster spot.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by previewing the game and offers up a few reasons why Bills Mafia should watch, including...

It’s the time of the year when everyone’s warming up for the beginning of the NFL regular season and that’s no different for me. I finally make one Aussie’s wish come true as I warm the ever-loving-heck up with a preseason recipe for the ages.

I take inspiration from Down Under in nuclear fashion with a sauce for what I call…

Nuke-A-Roo Wings

Credit or blame goes to Rumblings regular Will G. who has been asking me for a looooooooooong time to do something with Vegemite. More on why I finally did it and my impressions of the...

The first “real” college football of the 2025 season is upon us. The offering is five FBS games to feast your eyes on throughout Saturday. A season full of narratives is about to begin with the inaugural game of 2025 taking place in Ireland.

One of the more wide-open leagues in the nation last year was the Big 12. The league is once again back to looking open for the taking in 2025 with two of the league’s potential favorites facing off in what could prove to be an important game when November and December rolls around.

We’ve got multiple...
