NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the Buffalo Bills have released defensive tackle Gable Steveson, but this isn't necessarily a surprise.
that the Buffalo Bills have released the defensive tackle as they trim their roster down to 53 players ahead of August 27’s 4:00 p.m. deadline. Steveson, who won an Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Tokyo Games, was always a long shot to make the roster given the fact that he’s never played organized football at any level; in fact, his May tryout at One Bills Drive was the first time in his life that he had ever laced up a pair of cleats.
Despite his lack of experience, Steveson didn’t look out of place as a pass-rusher throughout the preseason, totaling four pressures in three appearances, per PFF. The undersized interior defender expectedly looked a bit rough against the run, but this is to be expected from a player who is only a few months into their football journey.
