3 players to watch for the Bills
WR Tyrell Shavers: The second-year receiver made a strong case to make the roster in 2024, and he’s doing more of the same in 2025. Even in a blowout, the pass-catcher let his play do the talking and had one of the very few highlights of the 38-0 loss. Elijah Moore had some costly drops throughout, which sets up Shavers to use this last preseason exhibition as proof of why he deserves to be on the roster. McDermott expressed that guys lower on the depth chart need to be multidimensional, so seeing what he can do not only on offense but special teams is one of the key areas to watch for.

S Jordan Hancock: Hancock suffered a reported shoulder injury during the preseason loss to the Chicago Bears. His status as of the time of publication is unknown. The rookie safety was explosive before the injury, effective against the run, and showed some flashes while dropping back in coverage. The safety room has left much to be desired, and while it’s only training camp and the preseason, Bills Mafia are hoping for some change. Cole Bishop was finally able to see the field after battling injuries throughout training camp, and it was clear that he needed more reps. This isn’t us slamming the table for Hancock to take over the starting duties; we just want to see more of him.
QB Mike White: It seems as though the battle for backup quarterback may already be decided. White was given the start against the Bears and could not get anything going while taking on the first-team defense for Chicago. Trubisky didn’t fare much better during the contest, but his experience and time with the organization have proven invaluable. Despite all that, if White has any chance to potentially compete with Trubisky, he’s going to need a monster game. After not scoring at all during the last contest, a huge performance from White could go a long way.
The regular season is almost upon us, just one more preseason game.
