Overview

  • The signing was reported Monday and places Tre'Davious White on Buffalo's practice squad so he can acclimate to the team's defense before joining the active roster.
  • The Bills released cornerback A.J. Woods to open a practice-squad spot for White, creating immediate roster churn during Buffalo's Week 7 bye.
  • White turned down other offers to return and arrives as a proven veteran with two Pro Bowl selections and a 2019 first-team All-Pro season but a history of major injuries including a torn ACL and torn Achilles.
  • Because he is on the practice squad the Bills can elevate White up to three times without adding him to the 53-man roster, giving the team short-term flexibility if they need him for upcoming games.
  • Coaches expect White's experience to help stabilize communication and coverage for younger corners such as Maxwell Hairston, Davison Igbinosun and Christian Benford while Buffalo assesses whether to make him a permanent roster addition.
