The 6-foot-5, 305 pound lineman signed in Buffalo after going undrafted at the 2023 NFL draft last year. He did stick around on the team’s roster last season and has an opportunity to do so again in 2024.
With Anderson being released, he’ll have a full day of recovery ahead of him on Wednesday. The team has the day off from training camp practice following two-straight days of workouts which were of the full-pad variety.
Bills Wire will provide updates when information is made available.
