Mitch Wishnowsky: Let go by Buffalo
The Bills released Wishnowsky on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Wishnowsky has evidently lost the punter battle with rookie seventh-round pick Tommy Doman. The two competed throughout training camp and the preseason, but Wishnowsky's horrendous 19-yard punt in Thursday night's preseason finale against the Steelers likely sealed the deal for the veteran. Josh Allen's Bills do not punt very often, but when they do, Doman will now be called upon to save defensive field position.

Mitch Wishnowsky: Dropped by 49ers
Wishnowsky (back) was released by the 49ers on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old finished San Francisco's 2024 campaign on injured reserve due to a back injury, but it appears he's moved past the issue after being released without an injury designation Wednesday. Wishnowsky served as the 49ers' punter for six seasons prior to his release, accumulating 12,700 net yards and 138 punts inside the 20-yard line over 92 regular-season games. In a corresponding move, San Francisco inked a deal with 16-year veteran punter Thomas Morstead.
