ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have released punter Shawn Powell a day after he struggled in 37-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
The Bills announced the move Friday. Powell struggled in angling punts away from Cleveland’s Travis Benjamin, who returned seven punts for a franchise-record 179 yards, including a 79-yard touchdown return.
Powell was coming off a week in which he shanked two punts in a 23-20 win over Baltimore. Against Cleveland, he finished with a 23.1 yards-per-punt net for Buffalo (2-3), and failed to land one inside the Browns’ 20.
Before traveling to Cleveland, Powell had expressed concern to The Associated Press about his status on the team.
