Te'Cory Couch competes for Bills' 53-man roster spot ahead of 2026 season
Summary

Te'Cory Couch of the Buffalo Bills is vying for a position on the 53-man roster as the 2026 NFL season approaches. After spending the previous season on the practice squad, Couch is healthy and participating in OTAs. The Bills, under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, are shifting to a more aggressive defensive scheme that could provide opportunities for Couch, who has experience at both cornerback and safety. However, he faces stiff competition from several established players at his position, including Christian Benford and Dee Alford. Couch will need to showcase his versatility and special teams capability to secure a place on the roster.
