2026 Buffalo Bills training camp preview: Offensive line

The Buffalo Bills kick off training camp on July 29 at St. John Fisher. This moves the team into the next major phase of the offseason ahead of the 2026 NFL season.

Ahead of then, Bills Wire will examine every position group ahead of this pivotal time on the football calendar.

This edition will focus on the Bills’ offensive line unit:

Four of the five positions on the offensive line are set. Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown will bookend the line. O’Cyrus Torrence returns as the right guard, while Connor McGovern, fresh off signing a four-year, $52 million contract this offseason, will hold down the center spot.

With David Edwards’ departure via free agency, the left guard spot is now available. Tentatively, we will give this spot to incumbent Alec Anderson. However, this is tenuous, at best.

Buffalo signed veteran guard Austin Corbett to compete for the left guard spot. Corbett’s contract is only for one year, so it appears the Bills are taking the same conservative gamble as they did when they initially signed David Edwards for depth in 2023.

Sedrick Van Gran-Pranger and Lloyd Cushenberry provide depth at the interior line positions. The Bills also have Nick Broeker, Bruno Fina, Da’Metrius Weatherspoon, and 2026 seventh-round pick Ar’Maj Reed-Adams in the fold as reserves on the inside of the line.

Behind Dawkins and Brown, the Bills roster Chase Lundt, Tylan Grable, and 2026 fourth-round selection Jude Bowry.

The left guard spot is the most intriguing one to watch this summer. Anderson has been a part of the Bills system since signing with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Anderson has seen time at various spots on the offensive line. He has worked primarily as a sixth offensive lineman in heavy sets.

Corbett is a veteran who can fill the spot adequately in case Anderson is not ready for full-time duties. Corbett, however, has missed time in each of the past four seasons with injuries.

The bottom end of the depth chart will be an interesting battle as well. Lundt, Grable, and Bowry may be in a fight for next-man-up duties at tackle. The Bills used early day three draft capital on Bowry, so he will be one to watch.

There are a few options that could fulfill this question, but we’ll roll with Anderson. It’s his time to step up and grab control of the left guard spot. He will most likely have the initial reps with the first team at guard during camp. A strong camp will solidify his spot as a starter.
