It’s not the hardest excersise to predict the Buffalo Bills’ starting roster in 2020. There’s a good chance that many could predict almost all of the team’s starters next season already.
But team’s have 50-plus players on the roster and backups are needed many times. In terms of these depth pieces, some could become very important for a team when called upon.
Here are four players on the Bills who could be key reserve players in 2020:
OL Ty Nsekhe
Last season the Bills’ offensive line much improved, but an average unit. The year prior, the group was so bad that the ensuing season seemed night and day. But this group can still improve but a big reason why it seemed better is because of their health a year ago.
The only player on the Bills’ offensive line to see significant time on the the injury cart was veteran Ty Nsekhe. Once he went down, Cody Ford slid right into that slot at right tackle since the two were rotating, anyways. But with this health in mind, it’s once again Nsekhe that could be a key reserve. The Bills didn’t address the offensive line at the recent draft, so they’re going to go with a slew of veterans once again. Daryl Williams and Evan Boehm are another set of experienced players added at the O-line this offseason, but Nsekhe played well with the Bills a year ago, has already meshed and built chemistry with his teammates, and his contract has a bigger burden on the salary cap if cut. Nsekhe could be the first guy jumping off the bench if someone goes down at tackle or guard next season.
