The Buffalo Bills unveiled their first unofficial depth chart for the 2026 NFL season ahead of their exhibition opener against the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. The chart features notable changes, including veteran Austin Corbett competing for the left guard position, while Keon Coleman is listed ahead of Josh Palmer among receivers. On the defensive line, Phidarian Mathis has claimed the top spot, amid DeWayne Carter's recovery from an Achilles injury.
