‘The team did elect to use their exempt spot on running back Christian Wade, who is in the final year of the league’s International Pathways Program. That means Wade is ineligible to sign with Bills’ or any other team’s active roster in 2020. But he’ll still be practicing with them every day and can still come back to camp next year if they choose to have him.’

The 25-year-old cornerback was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal in 2020. His extension will officially kick in following this upcoming season.’

‘Among the notable cuts were wide receivers Duke Williams and Robert Foster, as well as running back Christian Wade, tight end Jason Croom, cornerback Cam Lewis and cornerback Dane Jackson.’

‘Thompson’s been primarily a weak-side backup for Matt Milano, and also a core special teams player through his two-year career. He was originally an undrafted free agent who was released as part of final cuts in 2018, but then signed to the team’s practice squad right away. Later that season, he was signed to the active roster. He made the Bills’ 53-man roster right out of camp last season and played 12 games, missing four with an ankle injury. Other than the team’s regular season finale when they rested several defensive players in preparation for the playoffs, he was strictly a special teamer.’

‘Breer wasn’t specific in saying if the Bills were looking to move those players or if other teams have inquired, but Bills general manager Brandon Beane may very well be calling other teams to see if they are willing to give him any compensation before having to release and lose them for nothing.’

‘Given the 16-man practice squad (17 for the Bills if they choose to use their exempt spot on running back Christian Wade), 70 of these players could actually still be with the team next week. Of course, it’s doubtful every person cut is signed back to the practice squad. A few could be claimed, some may want to go to another team’s practice squad where they feel they have a better shot at making an active roster eventually, and the Bills may sign players who get cut by other teams eating up their own spots. However, I think a majority of them will be back with the Bills.’

‘Cornerback Josh Norman and wide receiver Stefon Diggs were both limited for the second day in a row. Norman is still recovering from a hamstring injury, while Diggs is dealing with back soreness.’

‘Saying the one-on-ones between the two at camp have been competitive would be an understatement.’

‘Singletary was extremely efficient in his rookie season, even at the end of the year when he saw a much bigger workload. He will head into his second season as the starting RB, and he is heavily favored by fans to finish with the most scrimmage yards at the position. Not sure I agree with the majority here. Moss is a powerful, versatile weapon that showed at Utah he can be a dangerous receiver in the backfield. He is a more talented player and eventually this season he will take over the majority of the work.’

‘Another player who appeared on the injury report for the first time was defensive end Mario Addison, who McDermott said was dealing with knee soreness, so they decided to give him a couple days rest.’

‘However, defensive lineman Vernon Butler was still a no-show as he deals with a hamstring injury, as was offensive lineman Victor Salako, who is dealing with a back issue.’

‘This move likely means less about the Bills linebacker room as it does for special teams contributors. Running back Taiwan Jones, who largely plays special teams, has been absent from Bills practice, dealing with a knee injury.’

‘Prior to the afternoon session, head coach Sean McDermott spoke to the media via a Zoom conference call and gave the injury update…’.

‘Diggs joined a longer-than-usual list of players who did not participate as the team held it’s final official training camp practice of 2020 at their practice facility outside Bills Stadium.’

‘Allen will have a tough time making the team, depending on how many corners the Bills decide to keep.’
