Mitch Trubisky has been out recently due to a knee injury, and it’s uncertain if he’ll be ready for Week One against the Cardinals. However, the team is not preparing for his potential absence by keeping a third quarterback on their initial 53-man roster.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the team is releasing Ben DiNucci as part of their roster cuts to reach the 53-player limit by Tuesday afternoon’s deadline. DiNucci joined the team on August 12 and played in two preseason games.
The Bills also released Anthony Brown on Monday, so now they only have Trubisky and Josh Allen on the roster.
The team might plan to add DiNucci or Brown back to the practice squad so they can be available as Allen’s backup if Trubisky cannot play. We will find out if that happens in the next few days.
