Buffalo Bills Complete Roster Cuts in HBO Hard Knocks Finale

The HBO series "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills" concluded its five-part run with a season finale that provided an inside look at the Bills' roster cuts, practice squad formation, and final preparations for the 2025 NFL season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. Star quarterback Josh Allen shared an emotional moment discussing his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, and expressed a vivid Super Bowl dream, envisioning a parade through Buffalo to bring the Lombardi Trophy home. The episode highlighted the difficult business side of football as multiple players, including Casey Rogers and K.J. Hamler, were cut, while others like Jimmy Ciarlo and Frank Gore Jr. made the practice squad. The series also featured the return of veterans Jordan Poyer and Jordan Phillips as practice squad mentors, with Poyer reflecting on his connection to Buffalo. Light-hearted moments, including players' off-field activities and Allen's recitation of movie lines, balanced the intense "Super Bowl or bust" mentality pervasive throughout the camp. The Bills now turn their attention to their Week 1 primetime game, carrying both the hopes of their city and the focus of reigning AFC East champions.
