The Buffalo Bills have their initial roster for the 2026 NFL season.
Buffalo reduced its roster to 53 players ahead of Sunday's NFL deadline after three preseason games and more than a month of training camp.
The roster still could change before the Bills open the regular season Sept. 13 against the Houston Texans. Waiver claims will be processed Monday, while Buffalo can also make additional signings and injured-reserve moves.
