Lloyd Cushenberry III

No. 53 · 7th season

Cushenberry has started for years. His spot in Buffalo isn't guaranteed anymore.

There is a particular kind of uncertainty that settles over a player who has done the job long enough to stop wondering if he can do it — and then has to wonder again.

Lloyd Cushenberry III lines up at center, the position responsible for snapping the ball and anchoring the middle of the offensive line. He has been a starter. That is what makes this moment different from a rookie fighting for a spot: this is someone who already proved something, now being asked to prove it again.

Heading into the fall, his place on Buffalo's 53-man roster — the active players a team keeps on its official roll — is not settled. He may be in. He may not.

For a player whose career has been built on reliability, roster uncertainty is its own kind of pressure. The guy who shows up every week and does the unglamorous work rarely makes headlines. Until now.

What happens next is the whole question.
