Anonymous
The Buffalo Bills released veteran punter Mitch Wishnowsky as part of their roster cuts for the start of the season, freeing up about AP $1.1 million in salary cap room. The move came after Wishnowsky lost an offseason competition to seventh-round draft pick Tommy Doman, who showed promise with a 48-yard average on seven preseason punts and four placements inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
The Bills also cut 13 players total, including veteran receiver and punt returner Mecole Hardman. Backup running back Ray Davis will take over punt-return duties, as Buffalo prepares for the regular season.
Rookie Outperforms Veteran in Punting Battle
Tommy Doman, a seventh-round draft pick, won the competition for the starting punter job over Wishnowsky. AP In preseason action, Doman averaged 48 yards per punt attempt across seven attempts. He also demonstrated leg strength by landing four punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line, a critical metric for special teams success.
Bills Cut 13 Players to Trim Roster
The Bills released 13 players as part of their preseason roster cuts, AP signaling the team's final preparations for the regular season. Wishnowsky's release was one of the most notable moves, but the team also parted ways with experienced special teams contributor Mecole Hardman, who had served as both a receiver and punt returner.
Ray Davis Steps Into Special Teams Role
With Hardman's departure, AP backup running back Ray Davis will inherit the punt-return responsibilities for Buffalo. The move consolidates special teams duties and forces the team to rely on Davis for both rushing and return work, a dual role that adds depth to the backfield rotation.
