Competition at the defensive tackle position has been intense throughout the preseason, creating some tough decisions for the coaching staff come roster cut down day Sept. 5.
Teams typically keep four defensive tackles on the roster but the Bills have indicated they may consider keeping a fifth tackle in place of what would normally be a roster spot held by a defensive end. Last year the Bills kept five defensive tackles and four ends.
