Buffalo Bills' 53-man roster includes Damar Hamlin and former undrafted free agents

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle The Buffalo Bills’ initial 53-man roster has been released, but by no means is that the final iteration. But after Tuesday's cuts, a few notable players remained on the roster including Damar Hamlin, continuing his comeback after collapsing on the field during a Monday Night Football game in Cincinnati in January. Kingsley Jonathan, an undrafted free agent out of Syracuse University in 2022, made the team, perhaps because the Bills traded Boogie Basham to the New York Giants.

As early as Wednesday, changes will start to be made as the Bills are expected to place wide receiver Justin Shorter and linebacker Baylon Spector on injured reserve. That will open two spots for players who were released Tuesday in what will amount to paperwork moves. Long snapper Reid Ferguson was also released with the understanding that he will be signed right back to the team.

That is also a transaction designed to get another of the waived players back. Also, the Bills may add players who were cut by other teams after the waiver signing period ends at noon Wednesday. The leading candidates to be returned to the team could be linebacker A.

J. Klein and wide receiver Andy Isabella. Here’s the complete list of Buffalo Bills cuts and other roster moves, most of which were universally expected.

They were: Buffalo Bills cuts QB: Matt Barkley (injured reserve); RB: Jordan Mims, Darrynton Evans, Ty Johnson; WR: Andy Isabella; Marcel Ateman, Isaiah Coulter, Dezmon Patmon, Tyrell Shavers, KeeSean Johnson, Bryan Thompson; TE: Joel Wilson, Jace Sternberg; OL: David Quessenberry, Greg Mancz, Richard Gouraige, Nick Broeker, Garrett McGhin, Ike Boettger; Kevin Jarvis; DL: Kameron Cline, Shane Ray, Cortez Broughton, Kendal Vickers, D. J. Dale, Von Miller (PUP); LB: A.

J. Klein, Eli Ankou, DaShaun White, Travin Howard; CB: JaMarcus Ingram, Alex Austin, Kyron Brown; S: Dean Marlowe, Zayne Anderson, Jared Mayden; SPEC: Reid Ferguson Many of these players will be back with the Bills after the waiver period expires at noon Wednesday, either on the 53-man roster or on the practice squad. One move that is expected will be linebacker Baylon Spector (hamstring) going on injured reserve, and that might also be the case with offensive guard Connor McGovern due to his knee injury.

If those moves happen, that’s two roster spots that open up. Also, some of these players on the initial roster could be gone if the Bills claim players off the waiver wire. Bottom line, the last five or six spots are anything but solidified just yet.
