Now that we’re in September, closing in on 10 days until the start of the 2026 Bills season, I figured it’s time to host a Q&A session with all of you Rumblers. As this is my first Q&A as the site producer here, this can be a Reddit-style “Ask Me Anything” session. There’s so much […]

Less than two weeks out from the Buffalo Bills’ Week 1 road game against the Houston Texans, president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane took the podium on Tuesday, September 1 to answer a wide variety of questions in a presser that lasted over 36 minutes.

Braden Smith’s injury a big one for Texans before Buffalo Bills game in Week 1
The Buffalo Bills will not be facing Houston Texans starting right tackle in Week 1, a development I don’t think can be understated in its importance. Although Braden Smith initially was placed on the Texans’ 53-man roster after cutdown down, GM Nick Caserio told reporters on Tuesday Smith will now be placed on IR after […]

Bills eschew orthodox positional roster quotas with 53-man decisions
Everyone tells you what they believe in, but actions speak louder than words. In 2012, a film called “Would You Rather” released in select theaters. An independent psychological horror film, the movie focuses on a dinner party conducted by a wealthy “philanthropist” Shepard Lambrick who organizes a set of games to test how far his […]

The Bills hadn’t signed any holdovers from the previous regime to their practice squad… until now.

Buffalo Bills hit homerun with practice-squad signing of Greg Dortch
It seemed painfully obvious during the Buffalo Bills preseason — the team had returner problem, and they may have just solved it after NFL cutdown day. According the Talbots, Damon and Ryan, the Bills are expected to sign veteran receiver and return man Greg Dortch to their practice squad: I cannot stress enough how much […]
Chiefs adding fullback waived by Buffalo Bills
For a few weeks, many of us thought fullback would be part of the Buffalo Bills 53-man roster, but now the lone candidate to fill that role from late August will be on the practice squad of their biggest rival. According to Jordan Schultz, VanSumeren will join the Chiefs practice squad: Ben VanSumeren, who did […]
Buffalo Bills awarded no players on waivers, rookie claimed by Browns
The NFL has announced the waiver claims by all teams after roster cutdown day, and it was reasonably uneventful for the Buffalo Bills — they were not awarded any players. However, rookie seventh-round pick Toriano Pride Jr. was claimed by the Browns. This is not the first time during the Brandon Beane era a Bills […]

The Buffalo Bills roster cuts are complete, and the team has has set its initial 53-man roster for the 2026 NFL season, therefore it’s time to react to everything that transpired over the weekend.

Buffalo Bills’ initial 53-man roster of 2026 NFL season
The Buffalo Bills have just put the finishing touches on their first 53-man active roster for the 2026 NFL season. It’s a grueling process made worse by informing scores of young men that they won’t be continuing on with the team, at least initially, as part of the game-day roster. Given the harsh nature of […]
Buffalo Bills 2026 practice squad tracker
The Buffalo Bills are still in the midst of reducing their roster from a summer high of 91 players down to the league-mandated 53-man active roster for Week 1, where all that’s likely left at this point is the official reporting process. The regular season is just around the corner, which means new head coach […]
Buffalo Bills now have Aaron Donald on their 2026 schedule
Make that two future first-ballot Hall of Famers on the Los Angeles Rams defensive line, and this one is quite familiar with the organization, unlike Myles Garrett who was acquired via trade on June 1. Jordan Schultz reported the return of Aaron Donald to the Rams roster after he retired following the 2023 season: With […]
Best cut players from other teams Buffalo Bills should consider signing
As you likely have heard, the NFL roster cuts deadline is today at 6 p.m. EST. And for as much as this day does feature over 1,000 players losing their jobs, I like to spin it into a positive and focus on new opportunities for released players to land gigs on different teams, including, of […]

Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane has made his August trade, shipping third-string center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger to the Indianapolis Colts.

Buffalo Bills practice squad rules: Who sticks around after 2026 roster cuts?
The Buffalo Bills are preparing for one of the most difficult parts of the NFL calendar: turning an entire offseason roster into the 53 players who will initially make up the 2026 team.

PUP, IR, NFI and even a suspension could give Buffalo Bills some additional roster flexibility Sunday
The preseason is over, which means we have reached one of my favorite parts of roster construction: trying to figure out what Brandon Beane is doing before Brandon Beane tells us what Brandon Beane is doing. By Sunday, August 30 at 6 p.m. ET, the Buffalo Bills must reduce their roster to 53 players.Except getting […]
