The Buffalo Bandits will look to get a win in their home opener against the Edmonton Rush.

Aaron Wilson has been released… Considering the amazing preseason performance he put in, that was the most surprising cut of camp. And in case you think they just released him to put him on the practice squad, I’ve already confirmed he won’t be on the practice squad.
