TyrellShavers

Alex Brasky·Aug 18

Shavers is going to make it mighty difficult for the Bills to keep him off the initial 53-man roster.

He continued to make plays at the wide receiver position on Sunday night, finishing with a couple of catches for 29 yards receiving, including a nice back-shoulder reception from White — one of the QB’s lone highlights of the evening. Shavers now has 99 yards receiving on four receptions through two preseason games and has shown consistent ability to win 1-on-1 matchups along the outside. While Head Coach Sean McDermott has said previously that Shavers must improve his ability on special teams to make the team’s roster, he may very well be one of the team’s best four or five options at wide receiver at this point. @[Elijah Moore](208) had another forgettable evening, dropping two passes while finishing with just one catch for five yards. At this point, while they have differing skill sets, you would have to say Shavers has done more to prove his case as a roster candidate than Moore.

It's going to be hard keeping Tyrell Shavers off the Bills' 53-man roster. After a strong first two and a half weeks of training camp in Rochester, Shavers was one of the few Bills offensive players who had a strong outing. Shavers caught the Bills' biggest play of the day, connecting with Mitch Trubisky on a 58-yard reception with seconds to go in the first half. Shavers also had a 12-yard reception on his first drive of the game. If the Bills keep six wide receivers, Shavers will be on the roster. If the team elects to keep five wide receivers, the Bills will have a decision to make between veterans like Curtis Samuel, Elijah Moore, and Shavers. Samuel's contract complicates things even further, but perhaps there's a trade to be made if the Bills want to find a spot for Shavers.
