Alec Anderson secures Buffalo Bills starting left guard position
Summary

Alec Anderson will open the upcoming NFL season as the starting left guard for the Buffalo Bills. Anderson earned the role after a preseason competition against nine-year veteran Austin Corbett. The position became available following the departure of David Edwards, who signed with the New Orleans Saints during the offseason. Having spent time on the team's practice squad since 2022, Anderson transitions into his first starting role. Head coach Brady noted the decision followed an evaluation of the players' performance during training camp. With the competition settled, Anderson is focused on adjusting his pregame routine to align with his new starting duties, while Corbett remains on the roster as depth.
