3 Buffalo Bills on defense to watch in preseason game against Lions

Star Lotulelei

Another player who sat out last season was defensive tackle Star Lotulelei. However, the veteran defensive tackle is back and is expected to be a key part of this defensive line.

Typically, the first preseason game rarely sees much from starters and veterans but this year is certainly a little different. When considering the fact that there are only three preseason games and Lotulelei may have more rust than usually, giving him an extended snap count could make sense.

The veteran is one that doesn’t show up much in the box score but has a big impact on the players around him. In this game, I will be watching to see how he does anchoring in the middle of this defensive line, can he keep offensive lineman engaged and handle those double teams with success.
