G Germain Ifedi

The former Jet is a healthy scratch in his first game with Buffalo. Ryan Van Demark is the swing tackle, and Ryan Bates can head outside in a pinch, as well.

T Alec Anderson

The young, versatile lineman is a healthy scratch, as he’ll have to wait at least another week for his regular-season debut. David Edwards and Ryan Bates are active as the interior offensive line reserves.

DE Kingsley Jonathan

The Syracuse alum is a healthy scratch, as the Bills roll with four players on the edge in A.J. Epenesa, Leonard Floyd, Greg Rousseau, and Shaq Lawson.

CB Kaiir Elam

Last year’s first-round pick is a healthy scratch in the season opener. Buffalo goes with only Dane Jackson behind Tre’Davious White and Christian Benford at outside corner.

S Damar Hamlin

This news leaked earlier today (https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1701211285210153051?s=20), but Buffalo will go with slot corner Cam Lewis as the fourth safety behind Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, and Taylor Rapp tonight.

No real surprises here.

Elam has to be disappointed though.

Elam being inactive is a surprise for a former first round pick.

Yup, it can’t hurt him though. Maybe this is the wake up call he needs.

It should light a fire hopefully.

DE Carl Lawson inactive for Jets, that's pretty big.

What a crap pick Elam wasElam made some key plays for us last year. Intercepted Mahomes in the endzone during the KC win. Interception vs Miami in the playoffs. He's good. They either don't like his possible penalties or something else is going on with him. They could just trust Dane and Benford more. They didn't hate him enough to trade him during cuts though. It's a weird situation.

Wasn’t Elam either a zone guy or a man guy… one of those.

A system misfit.

Elam being inactive is a surprise for a former first round pick.

Really irritates me that they finally grabbed a man guy and stubbornly mean to dump him less effectively in zone or sit him instead of looking at what he could bring to the table. He finished last season looking good......but nah.
