The Bills reduced their roster to the required 75 players with a handful of injury designations in addition to the normal cuts Tuesday afternoon. Not long before the league’s 4 pm deadline Buffalo cut eight players and designated seven others for Reserve lists or injured reserve.
Chief among them Buffalo’s top two draft choices, Shaq Lawson and Reggie Ragland. Lawson was placed on Reserve/PUP while Ragland went to injured reserve.
Lawson, who was expected to miss a portion of the regular season following shoulder surgery in the spring, is now assured of missing the team’s first six games.
