These are four players on the Buffalo Bills who need to have a good game to start the preseason.

The Buffalo Bills have been in training camp for almost three weeks and on Friday night are going to be stepping onto the field for their first preseason game of the season. While it is still early in the process, there are some players who need to have a greater sense of urgency.

These four players could be ones who are lower on the unofficial depth chart than they would like to be and could be on the roster bubble. While there are other players who are in position battles that with a good game could get them back in the discussion for a starting job or create a little more separation from their competition.

In the Buffalo Bills first preseason game of the season against the Detroit Lions, these are four players who will need to have a good performance starting with a player who has yet to take an NFL snap.
