Three Bills cuts claimed, initial practice squad finalized

A day after reducing its roster to the mandated 53 players, Buffalo continues to prepare for the season by naming its practice squad.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills will begin the 2019 NFL season on the road next Sunday. To that end, the team continues to shape the players they'll carry with them.

After the final cut down to wrap up the preseason, the team is adding to the group they'll carry for practices. Three players who won't be continuing with the organization are:

  • LB Deon Lacy, who was claimed by Miami
  • CB Ryan Lewis, who was claimed by Indianapolis
  • WR Ray-Ray McCloud III, who was claimed by Carolina

The team on Sunday afternoon named the following players to the practice squad to open the season:

  • WR Duke Williams
  • CB Cam Lewis
  • OL Erik Magnuson
  • DE Eddie Yarbrough
  • TE Nate Becker
  • DT Kyle Peko

Running back Christian Wade was also retained under a provision in the NFL's international pathway program. He won't count against the allotted 10 spots.

The Bills still have four empty spots available on their practice squad. Those will likely be filled by players currently outside the organization.
