Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy (85) makes a catch against Buffalo Bills cornerback Cam Lewis (47) during the second half of the preseason game at Ford Field in Detroit on Friday, Aug. 13, 2021. /

Buffalo Bills added three cornerbacks to the practice squad

However, on the defensive side of the ball, the Bills wanted more depth at cornerback and kept three at the position. The players they brought back aren’t surprising as all three showed something during the preseason.

The return of Cam Lewis is specifically noteworthy as he is a player that actually started a game for the Buffalo Bills last season in place of Taron Johnson. However, he suffered an injury that game that allowed Taron Johnson to step back in and he played well. Johnson never relinquished the role and is the clear starter at nickel entering the 2021 season.

Lewis is a cornerback that can also play outside and this combination of versatility and experience could be valuable at some point this season.

As for Wildgoose, he was a sixth round draft pick by the Buffalo Bills this year and after a tough game against the Lions, he looked better as the preseason went on. He also has some versatility playing outside and inside but could need some time for development.
