COMPETITION: Buffalo Bills 53-Man Projection Before Camp—Key SPOTS Up for Grabs

Buffalo Bills’ roster battle heats up as training camp approaches—will Josh Allen get the support he needs for another AFC East title run? Joe Marino unveils his pre-camp 53-man roster projection, spotlighting fierce competition at fullback between Ben VanSumeren and Jackson Acker, a crowded wide receiver room featuring DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman, and intriguing depth questions on the offensive line and at linebacker with names like O'Cyrus Torrence, Terrel Bernard, Kaleb Elarms-Orr, and Demetrius Flanagan-Fowles.

Key insights include Dalton Kincaid’s role in the tight end group, Michael Hoecht’s injury status shaping the outside linebacker depth, and the impact of rookies like Sedrick Van Pran-Granger and Maxwell Hairston. Special teams battles loom at punter and returner, while questions remain about a potential veteran linebacker signing. Can Brandon Beane’s roster construction set Buffalo up for postseason glory—or will these camp battles reshape the Bills’ blueprint?
