Jeremy Kerley seemed to find his place in the attack of Buffalo Bills' first-year offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, during the training camp and pre-season, but the team evolves into another direction.
The Bills released Kerley on Saturday to make room for defensive tackle Robert Thomas of his team. Buffalo eliminated tackle Adolphus Washington earlier this week and signed defensive end Nate Orchard.

Before Sunday's game at New Era Field against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Bills came off a defensive tackle after releasing Washington. Defensive end Shaq Lawson will miss the match due to a hamstring injury and he sometimes moves inside the line during the game.
The Bills coach, Sean McDermott, often likes to get rid of his defensive lineman and Thomas, who was elevated to the main list, makes sense.
Thomas joined the Bills' training team after being cut by the New York Giants at the end of the pre-season. He is in his third season and has played 15 games with the Giants last season.
With Kerley now gone, there are only five receivers on the list of 53 Bills players: Kelvin Benjamin, Zay Jones, Andre Holmes, Ray Ray McCloud and Robert Foster. Kerley played 69% of the slaps against the Ravens last week. McCloud is questionable with a knee injury but will likely play if the team is confident enough to give up Kerley.
