A source has told ESPN's Adam Scheffer that Lawson (pectoral) has been cut by the Bills.
This is a pretty big surprise, considering Lawson was supposed to start at outside linebacker opposite Jerry Hughes until Shaq Lawson returned from injury. The Bills will get some cap relief, and go with a more unproven linebacker until at least Week 7, when Shaq is eligible to return. Manny Lawson will probably get picked up by someone, though there's still a possible one-game suspension looming over his head.
Bills' Manny Lawson: May be facing one-game suspension

Lawson (pectoral) may be facing a one-game suspension for a domestic violence incident, Tim Graham of The Buffalo News reports.
The nature of Lawson's offense is unclear, as violations of the NFL's domestic-violence policy are supposed to result in a minimum suspension of six games. The veteran outside linebacker was just activated from the Non-Football Injury list Tuesday after tearing his pectoral while lifting weights in the offseason. Between injuries and suspensions, the Buffalo front seven is already looking severely depleted.
