The NFL regular season finally begins tonight! The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams will kick off from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. As game time approaches, each team will release its list of inactives. Here is who will not be suiting up in the season opener.
Buffalo Bills
WR Khalil Shakir
CB Cam Lewis
OL Tommy Doyle
TE Quintin Morris
DE Shaq Lawson
Shakir, a fifth-round rookie out of Boise State, made a handful of big plays during the preseason and drew rave reviews in camp. He was also listed as the Bills’ No. 1 punt returner on a recent depth chart, so that will be something to keep an eye on tonight. Also of note is that Buffalo has four running backs active for this game: Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, James Cook and Taiwan Jones.
Los Angeles Rams
WR Van Jefferson
WR Lance McCutcheon
QB Bryce Perkins
LB Jake Gervase
CB Derion Kendrick
Jefferson is still recovering from an offseason knee procedure and will reportedly miss multiple games to begin the year. Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson will be target hogs out wide for the reigning Super Bowl champs.
