These are three players on the Buffalo Bills who could fall on the depth chart after the preseason.

The focus for the preseason is mostly around which players can earn a roster spot or move up the depth chart. However, there is another group of players who are trying to hold onto their starting job.

In this year’s training camp most of the starting jobs could be written in pen as the Buffalo Bills brought back almost their entire starting lineup on both sides of the ball. There wasn’t much suspense and the focus was more around fine-tuning elements of the game plan versus seeing which players fit the scheme.

There was three positions though that the coaching staff will need to seriously consider making a switch. At some, it isn’t necessarily that a player played poorly, but the players behind them played exceptionally well. This could force the Buffalo Bills to make a switch that they may not have been expecting to make.

These are the three players who were originally listed as starters but may not be in the team’s first depth chart before the first regular season game.
