"Buffalo Bills Cut Super Bowl-Winning Running Back After 2 Games"

The Buffalo Bills have released Super Bowl-winning running back Leonard Fournette after he played just two games with the team, citing the need to make room for other positions due to injuries. Fournette, who signed with the Bills' practice squad in October, had a limited role in the team's recent games. The Bills may consider adding a veteran player to fill the vacant spot on the practice squad left by Fournette, and they may also look to add a punter if veteran punter Sam Martin's hamstring injury affects his availability.
