The Bills have named Anderson as their starting left guard, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
Anderson beat out Austin Corbett for the starting role after being more impressive throughout training camp. Anderson has appeared in 34 games and made six starts across the last two seasons with Buffalo.
The Bills re-signed Anderson to a one-year contract Monday.
Anderson was scheduled to become a restricted free agent next month but instead gets his deal done early with the Bills after appearing in all 17 regular-season games for the second straight year this past season. Anderson has started just six of his 34 career regular-season appearances and figures to again serve as a key reserve on Buffalo's offensive line.
Anderson (knee) was not listed on Buffalo's injury report Wednesday.
Anderson was nursing a knee issue early in training camp, but it doesn't appear like it's going to be an issue for the Bills' regular-season opener. He'll be on call in case something happens to one of the starting offensive linemen Sunday versus the Ravens.

Bills' Alec Anderson: Week-to-week
Rotowire
Anderson is "week-to-week" after getting his left knee examined following an early exit from Monday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Anderson serves as Buffalo's sixth lineman and often sees the field. Last year, he played on 291 offensive snaps in the regular season and even started four games.
Anderson (calf) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Ravens.
Anderson began the week as a limited participant at practice, but he's now upgraded to full activity and appears unbothered by the calf issue he picked up during Buffalo's wild-card round win over the Broncos. He'll be available to provide key depth for the Bills' offensive line versus Baltimore.
Anderson (calf) will be a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Anderson suffered the injury during the Bills' wild-card win over the Broncos, but he was able to return to the game. His limited status to start the week may be more precautionary than anything, but his participation level over the next two days may be worth monitoring.
