The Buffalo Bills released their first official depth chart ahead of their preseason opener against the Chicago Bears.

All eyes continue to be on the receiver position, and the depth chart gives an interesting layout and insight into where the Bills are leaning in terms of the pecking order.

Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel are listed as the boundary starters, while Khalil Shakir is the starter in the slot. Rookie Keon Coleman is listed behind Hollins on the depth chart.

Now, this isn't anything alarming or to be worried about. We see this all over the league where rookies will be listed has backups on the first depth chart as a sign of "earning their spot." While Hollins is a fan favorite already, don't expect him to start over Coleman once Week 1 rolls around.
