Tre'Davious White Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Bills vs Texans game on Thursday with our National Football League injury report.Sep 30, 2025
Seven tackles in Week 4 win
White logged seven solo tackles during the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
White played 51 of 67 defensive snaps Sunday and led the Bills in tackles. The veteran corner missed Buffalo's first game of the regular season and was limited in Week 2 due to a groin injury, but he has seen the field far more over the Bills' last two games. The 2017 first-rounder is up to 15 tackles (14 solo) and two pass defenses across three games to start the year.
Sep 22, 2025
Records five stops in Week 3
White totaled five tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in a 31-21 win over Miami on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
One of White's tackles went for a loss, as he took down Jaylen Waddle for a loss of three yards on a passing play in the third quarter. White was on the field for every one of the Bills' defensive snaps in the victory after missing Week 1 due to a groin injury and logging just 55 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 2.
Sep 14, 2025
Good to go Sunday
White (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback was a limited participant in practice in the week leading up to this contest after missing Buffalo's Week 1 win over the Ravens. With rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston (knee) still on IR, White should step forward into a starting role Sunday. The veteran and former Bill re-signed with the team in the offseason on a one-year deal after spending 2024 with the Ravens and Rams.
Sep 12, 2025
Questionable after limited practice
White (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
White was a limited participant in all three of Buffalo's practices leading up to the team's Week 2 road game against the Jets. If the veteran cornerback gets the green light to make his season debut Sunday, White would likely be thrust into a prominent role immediately in a banged-up Bills secondary.
Sep 10, 2025
Limited Wednesday
White (groin) was limited in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
White didn't practice in any capacity prior to being ruled inactive for Week 1, so his limited activity Wednesday represents a tangible step in the right direction. With rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston (knee) on IR and out until at least Week 5, White will provide a significant boost to Buffalo's cornerback corps when back on the field. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps ahead of Sunday's road game against the Jets.
Sep 7, 2025
Inactive for SNF
White (groin) is inactive for Sunday nights game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
White was listed as doubtful after racking up three DNPs during the week, so this was the expectation for the veteran cornerback. With Maxwell Hairston (knee) also out for Buffalo, the Bills will be forced to dip down their cornerback depth chart against Baltimore, giving additional reps to Ja'Marcus Ingram, Dorian Strong and Brandon Codrington.
Sep 5, 2025
Doubtful for Sunday night
White (groin) is doubtful for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
White didn't practice at all this week and doesn't appear to be particularly close to returning to the field after initially getting injured in late August. The good news for Buffalo is Christian Benford (groin) practiced fully Thursday and Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 1.
Sep 5, 2025
Still not practicing
White (groin) won't practice Friday, per head coach Sean McDermott, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White hasn't practiced at all leading up to Buffalo's season opener against the Ravens on Sunday, but McDermott said it's too early to rule anybody out for the Bills. Still, White seems more likely than not to sit out Week 1, which would leave the Bills shorthanded in the secondary since rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston (knee) is on IR to begin the year.
Sep 3, 2025
Dealing with groin injury
White did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.
ANALYSIS
White was diagnosed with a lower-body injury toward the end of training camp, but the veteran corner appears to be dealing with a groin issue. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status heading into the Bills' regular-season opener against the Ravens on Sunday. The Bills may have to turn to Taron Johnson, Dorian Strong and Ja'Marcus Ingram to slide in at outside corner if White and Christian Benford (groin) are unable to play.
Sep 3, 2025
Misses Wednesday's practice
White (lower leg) didn't practice Wednesday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
White is now in jeopardy of missing the Bills' Week 1 affair against the Ravens, as he hasn't practiced since sustaining a lower leg injury in late August. The veteran corner's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide a better indication on whether he can suit up Sunday. Buffalo's secondary is already plagued with injuries, as Christian Benford (undisclosed) and Maxwell Hairston (knee) are also banged up heading into Week 1.
Aug 29, 2025
Question mark for Week 1
White, who suffered a lower leg injury during last Thursday's practice, has yet to return to the practice field and his status remains unknown for the Bills' season opener against the Ravens, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White has not practiced this week. Said general manager Brandon Beane on Thursday: "Tre's got a great attitude, he's attacking it. Really other than that, we're just going to take it day by day...Wednesday, I think, is the first day an injury report will be due, so we'll see what it is, whether he can practice any or not."This takes on added import for the Bills, as the player White was supposed to back up and mentor, first-round rookie Maxwell Hairston, is on IR-R with a knee injury and will miss at least the first four weeks of the season.
Aug 23, 2025
Dealing with lower leg injury
Coach Sean McDermott said Saturday that White underwent an MRI for a lower leg injury, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
White played 19 defensive snaps in the Bills' preseason opener back on Aug. 9 but didn't appear in either of the next two exhibitions. Bills general manager Brandon Beane said there is no timeline for White's return. Buffalo is already without first-round rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston after he injured his knee early in training camp. Hairston has yet to return to practice and remains "a ways away" from beginning a ramping up process, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reported Tuesday.
Aug 1, 2025
May be in spotlight early
White's teammate Maxwell Hairston is expected to be sidelined for at least the next three weeks after being diagnosed with an LCL sprain in his right knee, meaning White could take on a more prominent role as the regular season draws near, Alec White and Kay Racine report.
ANALYSIS
Hairston was the team's first-round pick back in April, and the plan seemed to be to have him start right away, with White -- who was a first-rounder himself in 2017 -- set to serve as a mentor and steady backup presence. That plan may change now if Hairston can't get enough reps in before the Week 1 opener vs. the Ravens. If White does see a starter's snap count early on in the season, he could be a good source for tackles, etc. given that he'd be playing opposite the team's top corner in Christian Bedford. Dane Jackson is also in the mix more more potential action.
Apr 17, 2025
Returns to Buffalo
The Bills signed White to a one-year contract worth up to $6.8 million Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
White, of course, was the 27th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Bills and spent the first seven seasons of his career with Buffalo, making a pair of Pro Bowls while being named a first-team All-Pro once. Injuries then took a toll on the cornerback, and the 30-year-old spent last season splitting time with the Rams and Ravens, playing in 11 regular-season contests. He'll try to rebound his career in a familiar environment.
Jan 24, 2025
Headed for free agency
White made 10 tackles (seven solo) and three pass breakups across seven regular-season appearances with the Ravens in 2024. He also suited up for four regular-season games with the Rams, making 12 tackles (nine solo) and two pass breakups.
ANALYSIS
White, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The veteran cornerback has endured numerous serious injuries since 2021, including two ACL tears and a torn Achilles, but he managed to stay relatively healthy in 2024 en route to 11 combined regular-season appearances, while also suiting up for both of Baltimore's playoff games.
Dec 25, 2024
Good to go against Houston
White (shoulder) is active for Wednesday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out of the first two walkthroughs of the week due to a shoulder injury., White was able to participate in Tuesday's session in a limited capacity. He's done enough to be cleared to play Christmas Day, and with Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring) inactive, White and T.J. Tampa will serve as the Ravens' backup outside corners behind Brandon Stephens and Nate Wiggins.
Dec 24, 2024
Questionable to play Houston
White (shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
White didn't participate in the first two walkthroughs of the week due to a shoulder injury he likely picked up during the Ravens' 34-17 win over the Steelers this past Saturday. With Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring) already ruled out for Christmas Day, T.J. Tampa would serve as the backup outside corner behind Nate Wiggins and Brandon Stephens if White is not cleared to play.
Nov 17, 2024
Active for Week 11
White will play in Sunday's tilt against Pittsburgh, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore acquired White in a trade with the Rams on Nov. 5, but the veteran cornerback was a healthy scratch for the Ravens' Week 10 Thursday game against Cincinnati since it came just two days after he joined the team. White has since had enough time to get familiar with the team's defensive playbook and will see his first action as a Raven on Sunday. It's not clear how much work he'll get, though, as he's set for a rotational role with Baltimore.
Nov 7, 2024
Won't see action Thursday
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's Week 10 battle against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
White was acquired by the Ravens on Tuesday, which gave him very little time to learn the team's defensive playbook given the Thursday night contest. Baltimore is on bye in Week 11, so White's team debut is likely to come Sunday, Nov. 17 against Pittsburgh. When he is ready to take the field for the Ravens, White will likely serve in a rotational role in the secondary.
Nov 7, 2024
Unlikely to play versus Bengals
White is not expected to play Thursday versus Cincinnati, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
No health issue has been reported, so it's probably the case that White, who was traded to Baltimore on Tuesday, just didn't have enough time to learn the intricacies of the Ravens' defensive scheme. His next chance to play would come in Week 11 at Pittsburgh.
Nov 5, 2024
Moved to Baltimore
The Ravens acquired White and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick from the Rams on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
A two-time Pro Bowler, White hasn't returned to peak form since suffering a torn Achilles' tendon in Week 4 of last season while playing for the Bills. He joined the Rams on a one-year, $3.25 million deal this offseason and opened the 2024 campaign in a starting role, but he struggled in coverage and drew five penalties through four games before he was made a healthy inactive for each of the last four contests. The Ravens will bring the 29-year-old aboard with the hope that their scheme can bring out a better version of him, but White could serve as more of a rotational piece in the secondary than an every-down player.
Oct 28, 2024
Given permission to seek trade
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that the Rams have given White permission to seek a trade, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
White has been a healthy scratch in each of the Rams' last two games, so it's no surprise he wants out of Los Angeles. The 29-year-old cornerback has struggled in coverage this season, allowing almost 15 yards per completion and four touchdowns through four games. Cobie Durant and Josh Wallace are expected to remain the Rams' top outside cornerbacks while White and his agent seek a trade suitor.
Oct 20, 2024
Inactive again for Week 7
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
White was a healthy scratch for the Rams' Week 5 loss to the Packers and will remain on the sideline, even with Los Angeles coming out of its bye week. After a laundry list of lower-body injuries in his career, the 29-year-old White hasn't looked capable of keeping up with NFL wide receivers in coverage.
Oct 6, 2024
Won't suit up Sunday
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Wyatt Miller of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White started each of the Rams' first four games, recording 12 tackles and two pass defenses. However, it appears he's been benched, so Darious Williams, Ahkello Witherspoon and Josh Wallace are candidates for increased roles versus Green Bay.
Jul 23, 2024
Entering camp as active participant
White (Achilles) avoided being placed on the active/PUP list by the Rams ahead of training camp Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White is coming off of a torn right Achilles' tendon in October, which ended his 2023 campaign prematurely, but entering his first season with Los Angeles, he'll open camp as an active participant. The cornerback spent the first seven years of his career with the Bills, racking up 18 interceptions over his time in Buffalo. White has appeared in just 10 games over the last two years and he'll look to leave his injury woes in the past as he begins his next chapter with the Rams in 2024.
Jun 24, 2024
Making good recovery progress
Coach Sean McVay said during June minicamp that White (Achilles) is "making good progress" but is uncertain for the start of training camp late July, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White is currently working his way back from a right Achilles' tendon tear that cut his 2023 season short in October, and in 2022 he only suited up for six games before suffering a torn ACL. Since signing a one-year deal with the Rams, White has spent most of the offseason working off to the side with trainers, but he was reportedly able to participate in walkthroughs during the final week of OTAs. The 29-year-old figures to start at cornerback when healthy, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be ready to practice by the start of training camp, or to play a full share of snaps Week 1.
Mar 26, 2024
LA bound
White (Achilles) is expected to sign a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending his first seven years in Buffalo, White is traveling cross country for a fresh start in Los Angeles. Injuries have cut his previous two seasons short, including a torn Achilles on Oct. 1 of last season. It remains to be seen if he will be ready for the start of the 2024 campaign, but the 29-year-old projects to start at cornerback once his health allows it.
Mar 6, 2024
Time up in Buffalo
The Bills are slates to release White (Achilles), Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
White, a two-time Pro Bowler, will be designated as a post-June 1 cut, a move that saves Buffalo $10.2 million in cap space with $6.2 million in dead money, and leaves White free to sign with another club at the start of the new league year. Formerly one of the league's best cornerbacks, questions now linger about White's health, as the right Achilles rear the All-Pro is currently recovering from represents one of two recent major injuries. His 2021 season came to an end due to an ACL tear.
Oct 7, 2023
Going on IR
White (achilles) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The All-Pro cornerback was carted off the field during Buffalo's Week 4 win over Miami, and it was later confirmed that he suffered a tear in his right Achilles tendon. This makes two season-ending injuries in the last three years for White, as he tore his right ACL during the Bills' 2021 campaign. The 2022 first-round pick, Kaiir Elam, will likely see an uptick in work with White out for the remainder of the year.
Oct 3, 2023
Torn Achilles confirmed
Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Monday that White will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn right Achilles' tendon in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The standout cornerback has now succumbed to season-ending injuries twice in the past three seasons, as a torn ACL in his right knee cut short his 2021 campaign. White may face an even lengthier rehab for the Achilles tear, with the 28-year-old not guaranteed to be available for the start of the 2024 season. With White sidelined, Christian Benford and Dane Jackson are expected to serve as the Bills' starting outside cornerbacks while Taron Johnson continues to operate as the team's top slot corner.
Oct 2, 2023
Day to Day with injury
Head coach Sean McDermott says Benford is currently day to day with a shoulder injury, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Benford hurt his shoulder during Sunday's win against the Dolphins and is now questionable for the upcoming game against the Jaguars. With Tre'Davious White (Achilles) out for the year, Buffalo could be extremely thin at corner if the 23-year-old is unable to play.
Oct 2, 2023
Torn Achilles confirmed
Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Monday that White will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn right Achilles' tendon in Sunday's win over the Dolphins
ANALYSIS
The standout cornerback has now succumbed to season-ending injuries twice in the past three seasons, as a torn ACL in his right knee cut short his 2021 campaign. White may face an even lengthier rehab for the torn Achilles' tendon, with the 28-year-old not guaranteed to be available for the start of the 2024 season. With White sidelined, Christian Benford and Dane Jackson are expected to serve as the Bills' starting outside cornerbacks while Taron Johnson continues to operate as the team's top slot corner.
Oct 1, 2023
Likely has torn Achilles
White is believed to have torn his Achilles in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins, though he will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm, Jeff Darlington of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
White has likely suffered his second season-ending injury in three years, as he tore his ACL in Week 11 of the 2021 season. If White indeed has a torn Achilles, Taron Johnson or Dane Jackson will likely slide into a starting cornerback role on the outside.
Oct 1, 2023
May have suffered Achilles injury
White (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins and is being evaluated for a right Achilles injury after being carted off the field.
ANALYSIS
White went down in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a non-contact injury, potentially putting the 28-year-old's availability beyond Week 4 in jeopardy. The standout cornerback previously suffered a torn ACL in November 2021, though that injury was to his left leg. White recorded three solo tackles and a pass breakup before exiting the contest.
Oct 1, 2023
Carted off field
White suffered an ankle injury and was carted off the field Sunday versus Miami.
ANALYSIS
White went down with a non-contact injury and he seems unlikely to be back on the field Sunday. The cornerback's status will be updated following the team's contest with Miami.
Jun 12, 2023
Looking good at OTAs
White has looked healthy in practices this spring, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
White unsurprisingly had a down year in 2022 after his late-2021 ACL tear, and the season ended on a low note with a concussion forcing him out of Buffalo's playoff loss to Cincinnati. The 28-year-old is apparently healthy now and remains the No. 1 cornerback for one of the more talented defenses in the NFL.
Jan 22, 2023
Being evaluated for a head injury
White left Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Cincinnati and is being evaluated for a head injury.
ANALYSIS
White and Jordan Poyer collided on a deep-pass play in the fourth quarter and both left the game to be evaluated for head injuries. The Bills' secondary is completely decimated, but the Bengals hold a commanding lead and will likely look to run the ball to chew clock.
Nov 25, 2022
Makes season debut on pitch count
White, returning from a long-term knee injury, played 15 defensive snaps in Thursday's win over Detroit and did not register a tackle or pass defensed.
ANALYSIS
White had missed exactly a year's worth of action after suffering season-ending injury last Thanksgiving against the Saints. His snaps will be brought up in the coming games, perhaps slowly as the Bills keep the long-term plan in mind. He's the team's best corner when healthy, though he's probably not in a position just yet to be shutting down the opponent's top wideout like he's done so many times in the past. The Bills, who have had injury problems in the secondary all season, are probably counting on White being back at close to full speed again come playoff time, and perhaps even some meaningful December action.
Nov 24, 2022
Listed as active Thursday
White is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Lions, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
White thus is slated to make his first appearance in a game since tearing his ACL last Thanksgiving. It remains to be seen how much work the cornerback will see in his 2022 season debut, but White's return to the mix should provide the Bills secondary with a nice boost in the coming weeks. Prior to suffering his injury last season, the 27-year-old recorded 41 tackles and a pick in 11 contests.
Nov 23, 2022
Still in play for Week 12
White has yet to be ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Lions, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
White has yet to make his return to the field in 2022 after suffering a torn ACL last season, but he remains a possibility to play on Thanksgiving Day versus Detroit. The cornerback said Wednesday that he's taking it "one day at a time", making it seem like he could return in the near future. If he can't go in Week 12, Taron Johnson will once again operate in a starting role in Buffalo's secondary.
Nov 18, 2022
Ruled out for Week 11
White (coach's decision) will be inactive for Sunday's game versus the Browns, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
White will remain unavailable in Week 11 as he recovers from the torn ACL he suffered last season, but he appears to be close to a return. With the Bills' next game coming on Thanksgiving Day against the Lions, it may be difficult for the cornerback to return for Week 12, but his status is worth monitoring moving forward.
Nov 13, 2022
Won't play Sunday
White (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Although White has been making steady progress in his recovery from the torn ACL he sustained a year ago, he'll ultimately be sidelined once again during Sunday's contest versus Minnesota. The 192-pound cornerback's next opportunity to return will now come in Week 11 when the Bills host the Browns.
Nov 11, 2022
Uncertain to debut Sunday
White (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but head coach Sean McDermott said earlier Friday that the cornerback's status for the contest remains up in the air, Jon Scott of Spectrum News 1 Buffalo reports.
ANALYSIS
White was reinstated from the PUP list Nov. 1 after his 21-day evaluation window for a return to the 53-man roster came to a close, but the star cornerback ended up on the inactive list ahead of the Bills' Week 9 loss to the Jets. Though White hasn't endured any reported setbacks with his surgically repaired left knee since returning to practice, the Bills appear to be proceeding cautiously with the 27-year-old before having him make his 2022 debut. The Bills will presumably wait and see how White checks out following Friday's practice and during pregame warmups Sunday before deciding if he's ready to play against Minnesota.
Nov 7, 2022
Still considered day-to-day
Bills coach Sean McDermott said that White (knee) is still not ready to play and is considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
ANALYSIS
White did not suit up for Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets after being activated from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, as seems to still be working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last November. The star cornerback logged 41 tackles, six passes defended and one interception over 11 games in 2021, and should reprise the Bills' No. 1 cornerback spot once healthy this season. It will be worth monitoring White's status on the team's first injury report of Week 10 this Wednesday.
Nov 6, 2022
Won't play Sunday
White is listed as a healthy scratch for the Week 9 matchup against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
White made his return from the injured reserve this week and didn't have any sort of injury designation ahead of the Week 9 matchup, but he'll ultimately end up sidelined. Look for Taron Johnson to again get a start at cornerback opposite Dane Jackson.
Nov 4, 2022
Not on injury report but status TBD
White doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, but his status is still to be determined, Aidan Joly and Adam Gorski or WIVB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
White continues to work his way back from a torn ACL he suffered last year, but the Bills have remained cautious with their star defensive back. If White sees any action Sunday, it'll likely be in a limited fashion.
Nov 1, 2022
Returns to active roster
The Bills activated White (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White was lost for the 2021 season when he suffered a torn ACL in a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Saints. With the deadline approaching to get him back on the active roster, Buffalo has made the move to do exactly that, but it's unknown if he'll be able to suit up right away. On Tuesday, coach Sean McDermott said White will "remain day-to-day, and (I'm) not really going to get into speculating on whether he's going to play" Sunday at the Jets. White's listing on injury reports this week could be more revealing about his upcoming availability (or lack thereof).
Oct 31, 2022
Nearing return
Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that the team intends to activate Tre'Davious White (knee) this week, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Considering White's 21-day window since being designated to return from the PUP list Oct. 12 is nearing an end, this probably should be expected. However, even when he does get added to the 53-man roster, there is no guarantee he'll suit up Sunday against the Jets, as McDermott also said the team would take his status day-to-day in regards to playing this week.
Oct 26, 2022
Won't play vs. Green Bay
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that White won't play Sunday against the Packers, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
White, who's rehabbing from an ACL injury last season, was designated to return from the physically unable to perform list ahead of Week 6 and has returned to practices, but he's yet to be activated to the 53-man roster. If the star cornerback isn't added to the active roster ahead of Buffalo's Nov. 6 matchup against the Jets, White would revert back to the PUP list for the remainder of the campaign.
Oct 12, 2022
Returning to practice Wednesday
White (knee) is expected to return to practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
White will be back at practice for the first time since last November after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee against the Saints on Thanksgiving. He will not play Sunday versus the Chiefs, but it's possible he could return in Week 8 against Green Bay after the Bills' Week 7 bye week. White will provide a boost to Buffalo's secondary with Micah Hyde (neck) done for the season.
Aug 30, 2022
Officially out at least four games
White (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, ruling him out for the first four games of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The star cornerback hasn't been able to practice in camp and won't play in a game any earlier than October. White is still recovering from a knee injury suffered last Thanksgiving, and while the Bills drafted Kaiir Elam in the first round this offseason to provide additional help at cornerback, they also lost Levi Wallace and his 52 career starts to the Steelers. Buffalo will need Taron Johnson and Dane Jackson to step up early in the season, along with the aforementioned Elam.
Jul 24, 2022
Not practicing
White (knee) is not practicing Sunday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White is still rehabbing the torn ACL he suffered in last seasons Thanksgiving Day game. His recovery remains on schedule, and although he has not been able to participate in offseason practices yet, there's still a chance he could be on the field in Week 1.
May 31, 2022
Not present at OTAs
White was not present at practice Tuesday as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It was expected that White would need more time to recover from the injury he suffered Thanksgiving Day last year. Coach Sean McDermott said White was on schedule in his recovery a week ago, and there's nothing to suggest he's been knocked off that timetable. If all goes to plan, the 2019 All-Pro corner should be back by Week 1 to help the Bills maintain their recent reputation as a stingy defense.
May 24, 2022
Healing according to plan
Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that White is on schedule with his recovery timeline from surgery to repair a torn ACL, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills did draft Kaiir Elam with their first-round pick in April, but that's more to replace the vacant starting corner spot opposite White after Levi Wallace left in free agency. White appears on track to be out there for Week 1, though his continued health is imperative as the Bills try to take another step forward and reach the Super Bowl in 2022. White's absence -- he was hurt in Week 12 and never saw the field again -- was a major deciding factor in the Bills falling just short to the Chiefs for a second straight year in the playoffs.
Dec 31, 2021
Shifts back to IR
White (knee) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and shifted back to injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
White suffered a torn ACL in the Bills' Week 12 game with the Saints and was already out for the season. Now cleared from COVID protocols, White can return to focusing on healing his knee and returning in 2022.
Dec 24, 2021
Lands on COVID list
White (knee) has been shifted to the Bills' reserve/COVID-19 list, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
White was on the Bills' IR due to a torn ACL. He will revert back there once he can clear the league's health and safety protocols.

Undergoes surgery
White underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL on Tuesday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
White sustained his torn ACL during the Bills' Thanksgiving Day win over the Saints and will now shift his focus toward his lengthy recovery process. Dane Jackson has served as a starter since White has been sidelined.
Nov 30, 2021
Placed on IR
White (knee) was placed on in injured reserve Tuesday, officially ending his season.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback suffered a torn ACL in Week 12 against the Saints, bringing an immediate end to his 2021 campaign. He will now focus on rehabbing the injury while trying to be ready for next season. White finishes the year with 41 tackles, six pass deflections, a forced fumble and an interception.
Nov 26, 2021
Done for season with torn ACL
White will miss the rest of the season, as the knee injury he suffered in Thursday's win over the Saints was a torn ACL, Chris Jenkins of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a huge loss for the vaunted Bills defense, as White is among the league's stingiest shutdown cornerbacks. Taron Johnson will likely side into the starting role opposite Levi Wallace, occupying the opening created by White's injury.
Nov 25, 2021
Suffers knee inury
White is doubtful to return to Thursday's game against the Saints after suffering a knee injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White suffered a non-contact knee injury in the second quarter of the game. That he is deemed doubtful -- rather than out -- could be a slight positive but it also remains possible that the injury is significant. If White misses further time, it would be a significant loss for the Bills' defense as White is regarded as one of the top cornerbacks in the league.
Nov 16, 2021
Interception in win
White recorded five tackles (three solo) along with an interception in Sunday's 45-17 blowout win over New York.
ANALYSIS
White tallied his first interception of the season Sunday. The star cornerback is one of the best in the NFL in coverage, but opposing quarterbacks rarely look his way as he has only one game with more than six tackles. White's value to the Bills is much larger than his value to IDP fantasy managers.
Nov 9, 2021
Manages six stops vs. Jags
White had six tackles (two solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
White continues to operate as an every-down player in Buffalo's secondary, but the standout cornerback's presence wasn't enough to prevent an upset loss to Jacksonville. Looking ahead to Thursday's matchup against the Dolphins, White will look to contain whomever lines up under center between Tua Tagovailoa (finger) or Jacoby Brissett.
Oct 8, 2021
Cleared for action against KC
White (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White was limited in all three of Buffalo's practices this week but isn't in danger of sitting out this high-profile matchup in prime time. The standout cornerback will have to be at the top of his game to contain top Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who repeatedly left the Eagles secondary in a cloud of dust en route to 11 catches for 186 yards and three touchdowns last week.
Oct 6, 2021
Limited ahead of KC matchup
White was listed as limited Wednesday due to a shoulder issue.
ANALYSIS
We'd be pretty surprised if the star cornerback isn't out there this week when the team takes on the Chiefs in one of the better games on the regular-season slate. The White-Tyreek Hill matchup is must-see TV for football mavens. Still, IDP managers will look to see if White can work toward a clean designation by the time the Bills finish their work Friday.
Sep 21, 2021
Rings up nine tackles
White posted nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 35-0 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The game script forced the Dolphins to throw a ton, so White was busy in coverage and led the team in tackles. He's typically not dependable in IDP formats, though, as he hasn't topped 60 stops since his rookie year in 2017.
Mar 24, 2021
Frees up money for team
The Bills have converted a significant portion of White's salary into a signing bonus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Like a lot of teams, the Bills are up against it with a reduced salary cap this offseason, so honing in on White's lucrative contract (signed at the beginning of last season) really helps the team out in terms of signing a final free agent or two along with the incoming class of draft picks. The restructuring puts the Bills roughly $4 million under the cap, according to figures from Spotrac.
Jan 3, 2021
Won't play Sunday
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
White is being rested for the season finale because the Bills have locked up home-field advantage for the first round of the playoffs. Taron Johnson and Josh Norman should both see expanded roles in White's place.
Dec 24, 2020
Ready for Week 16
White, who exited the Week 15 win over the Broncos with a neck injury, was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report.
ANALYSIS
This is obviously good news for the Bills, who seem to have dodged a couple of bullets when arguably their best players on each side of the ball -- White on defense and Stefon Diggs on offense -- went down with injuries late in the blowout win against Denver. White could be rested on some level in Week 17 if the Bills can't improve their playoff positioning in the regular season's final week, though it appears he's ready for a full evening's worth of action Monday vs. the rival Patriots.
Dec 23, 2020
Back at practice
Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that White (shoulder) will participate in practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills won't release an official injury report until Thursday, so it's uncertain whether White will handle limited or full practice reps Wednesday. Of course, it's encouraging to see the star cornerback on the field in any capacity after he was forced out of last weekend's win over the Broncos due to a shoulder issue.
Dec 19, 2020
Exits Saturday's game
White is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Broncos due to a stinger.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old suffered the injury during the fourth quarter and seems unlikely to retake the field with the Bills winning in blowout fashion. White had two solo tackles, one sack and two passes defensed before leaving the contest.
Nov 13, 2020
Ready to face Cardinals
White (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
White's ankle injury forced him out late during last weekend's win over the Seahawks, but he resumed practicing in full Friday. All signs point to the star cornerback being a full-go for Sunday's tilt in Arizona, in which he'll likely face the task of holding DeAndre Hopkins in check.
Nov 12, 2020
Upgrades to limited
White is listed as a limited practice participant Thursday due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
White had to leave Sunday's win over Seattle late in the game, but he's starting to trend back up for the Week 10 contest in Arizona. Assuming he's able to go, he'll likely be tasked with keeping on eye on star receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Nov 11, 2020
Starts week with DNP
White (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White was injured late in the Bills' win over Seattle on Sunday. Coach Sean McDermott earlier put his star cornerback in the "day-to-day" category, so we'll see how White's practice regimen shapes up the rest of the week. He's one of the few guys in the league capable of sticking with Arizona's dangerous DeAndre Hopkins.
Nov 8, 2020
Week 9 return deemed questionable
White (ankle) was listed as questionable to return near the conclusion of Sunday's 44-34 win against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Buffalo had to withstand Russell Wilson's fourth-quarter efforts without the one-time All-Pro available for a portion of the period, though the Bills were able to hold on for the impressive win. White recovered a fumble and collected eight tackles prior to his exit, but now his practice status will be worth monitoring over the coming week as Buffalo prepares for another formidable NFC West opponent in the Cardinals.
Oct 25, 2020
Set to go Week 7
White (back) is active for Sunday's game at the Jets.
ANALYSIS
We're going to guess the start corner isn't 100 percent given his game-time status all after missing one game and plenty of practice time lately. Still, White is as good as they come, so even while playing through the back issue it's still a boost to Buffalo's struggling defense.
Oct 23, 2020
Misses another practice
White (back) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The back injury kept the star cornerback out of the Week 5 contest against the Titans while he played through it Monday against the Chiefs. After practicing fully Wednesday, it appears the back is acting up again, leaving White as a true question mark for Sunday's game.
Oct 22, 2020
Managing injury
White (back) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
White managed through the back injury last week before ultimately suiting up in Monday's game against the Chiefs, so it's too early to panic on his status for Week 7. Expect his practice availability throughout the week to shed more light on his chances to play Sunday. If the LSU product were to miss any more time, Taron Johnson would be in line for a starting role at cornerback.
Oct 19, 2020
Back in action Monday
White (back) is active for Monday's game versus the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White practiced without limitations Friday and Saturday and avoided a setback, so he'll gear up for a crucial AFC showdown. There's a good chance he shadows Tyreek Hill in this contest, and he'll have his hands full, as Hill has generated a 22-264-4 line through the first five games.
Oct 17, 2020
Officially questionable
White (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
White has logged consecutive full workloads at practice to close out the week, so the Bills appear to be exercising caution with this questionable designation. Still, his final status is not likely to be confirmed until closer to game-time.
Oct 16, 2020
Returns to full practice
White (back) practiced in full Friday, paving the way for him to suit up Monday against the Chiefs, Sal Capaccio of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White was inactive for just the second time in his career in last week's loss to the Titans, but the star cornerback is slated to return and try to slow down Chiefs speedster Tyreek Hill. This difficult matchup will certainly test just how healthy White is, but his return represents a major boost for Buffalo's defense regardless.
Oct 13, 2020
Unavailable against Titans
White (back) is inactive for Tuesday's game versus the Titans.
ANALYSIS
White will miss the second game of his career after sitting out of every practice over the past week. This could be a bit of an issue for the Bills' secondary, which will also be without Levi Wallace (ankle), but it should help that the Titans' receiver corps is depleted behind A.J. Brown. White will aim to get healthy for a Week 6 matchup against the Chiefs.
Oct 10, 2020
Misses walkthrough Saturday
White (back) was listed as a non-participant for Saturday's walkthrough practice and is questionable for Tuesday's game in Tennessee, the Bills official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White hasn't practiced at all this week, so his status for this week's game is truly up in the air. The one saving grace might be that the game has been moved to Tuesday, giving him an extra two-and-a-half days to get his back loosened up. He's one of the best three cornerbacks in the game, so his presence is important for a good Buffalo defense that's surprisingly struggled at times in 2020 so far.
Oct 8, 2020
Another missed practice
White (back) was unable to practice for the second straight day Thursday.
ANALYSIS
A Wednesday absence is typically nothing to worry about for the Bills' veterans, but a second straight missed practice puts the stud corner's availability for Sunday's game very much in doubt. White is a great player who's well familiar with the Bills' system, so even a limited practice Friday would provide more confidence toward his Week 5 availability.
Oct 7, 2020
Misses Wednesday's practice
White (back) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White had his practice reps limited last week due to a shoulder injury, but his current back issue appears to be a new development. The 25-year-old has lived up to his reputation as one of the top cornerbacks in the league through four games, so it would be a huge blow for Buffalo's secondary if he were to miss any time. It's worth noting, though, that White has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back games, so the Bills could also be allowing him a bit of rest.
Oct 7, 2020
Earning big check
White posted eight tackles and one pass defensed in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Through four games, the top corner has 13 tackles, four passes defensed and a fumble recovery. White did post six interceptions last season, but the problem is that teams continue to shy away from him because he's so good. That's probably not going to change, but White should be good for 50-plus tackles and a few interceptions once all is said and done, as he never leaves the field unless injured. Unfortunately, cornerback is the one position in fantasy football where the better you are, the less chance you have of racking up stats.
Sep 24, 2020
Shoulder injury minor
White practiced fully Thursday after working on a limited basis in Wednesday's session due to a shoulder issue.
ANALYSIS
White seems a certainty to be ready to try and stop the Rams' passing attack this week. One of the league's elite cornerbacks, White has only missed one game in three-plus NFL seasons.
Sep 23, 2020
Shoulder issue surfaces
White was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Coach Sean McDermott almost always errs on the side of caution with his veterans during the opening session of the week, so we won't worry too much about White's Week 3 status unless he regresses in his practice level Thursday or Friday. He's set to have a major role in Sunday's game trying to slow down a Rams offense that appears to be flying high once again.
Sep 5, 2020
Receives huge extension
The Bills and White agreed to a four-year, $70 million extension Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
White has more than lived up to his standing as the 27th overall pick in the 2017 draft, developing into one of the best cover corners in the NFL. Through three seasons, he's averaged 61.6 tackles per 16 games played while tallying 12 interceptions along the way. With this new contract in place, the 25-year-old is locked in with the Bills for the prime years of his career.
Aug 6, 2020
Decides to play this season
White plans to play this coming season, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, the All-Pro cornerback arrived at his decision after much deliberation in advance of Thursday's opt-out deadline. White, who is arguably the Bills' best player on either side of the ball, tied for the league lead in interceptions with six last season and was fourth in passes defended with 17.
Aug 5, 2020
Considering opt out
White said he's undecided on whether or not he will play football this season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com reports that White wants to evaluate the safety precautions at training camp before he makes a decision on playing in 2020. The superstar cornerback is entering his fourth pro season, and he's under contract through 2021 via a fifth-year team option on his rookie deal.
Apr 22, 2020
Buffalo exercises fifth-year option
Buffalo exercised White's fifth-year option for 2021 Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
White has more than lived up to his first-round draft pedigree and earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2019, so it's no surprise to see the Bills exercising the option. The 25-year-old had 58 total tackles, one sack, 17 passes defensed, six interceptions and two forced fumbles in 15 games last season.
Dec 16, 2019
Coach unconcerned about shoulder
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that White didn't suffer anything "significant to this point" when he briefly left Sunday's game at Pittsburgh with a shoulder injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
White ended up returning to action quickly after it looked like he might be done for the night, later making a huge interception and long return that started to turn the game around for the Bills. There's a chance the team's star cornerback will get treated carefully once the practice week starts up, but it sounds like he should be in his usual shape for Saturday's game at New England.
Dec 16, 2019
Returns and plays major role
White returned from a shoulder injury that sidelined him temporarily Sunday against the Steelers and finished with two interceptions and four total tackles.
ANALYSIS
White's second pick of the day -- following his return from the injury -- featured a 49-yard return that changed the tune of a game the Steelers had been leading, and in the end the Bills' playoff ticket was punched thanks to their stud corner. White's six interceptions are tied for the NFL lead -- the only problem in IDP leagues is that he's so good in coverage he someones gets avoided. Pittsburgh didn't take that path Sunday night and got burned badly. With the playoffs secure, White and the Bills will travel to New England next week to try and put some late pressure on the Patriots for the AFC East crown.
Dec 15, 2019
Right back in there
White (shoulder) was able to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
White was evidently able to get sufficient treatment for the injury quickly, so he's back out there anchoring Buffalo's stingy secondary.
Dec 15, 2019
Hurts shoulder on SNF
White (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Losing the team's top cornerback for any period would be a devastating blow to the Bills' defense as the team tries to secure a playoff spot. White made his mark on the game early with an interception but appeared to injure his shoulder while making a tackle on the next possession.
Sep 27, 2019
Ready to rock
White (neck) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
White was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he managed to log a full session Friday. The 2017 first-round pick appears primed for his usual starting role versus New England.
Sep 20, 2019
Sheds non-contact jersey
White, who was limited the first two days of practice this week with a neck injury, is practicing Friday without a non-contact jersey, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White is pretty much a guarantee to play Sunday against the Bengals, though we'll see if the Bills list him as questionable or sans injury tag. The stud corner will look to slow down a Cincinnati passing game, a unit that's been effective under its new coaching staff amid Cincy's otherwise disappointing 0-2 start.
Sep 18, 2019
Neck injury revealed
White was listed as limited following Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury.
ANALYSIS
Given that the stud corner was still able to do some work during the week's first practice, we're not too worried about this week's game against the Bengals, a team that has had some decent success through the air so far even without star receiver A.J. Green.
Sep 18, 2019
Avoiding contact Wednesday
White (undisclosed) wore a no-contact jersey during Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White will likely surface as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report. It's unclear what is bothering White, as he has played every defensive snap this season. If he's still practicing, however, White's on a good path to play Sunday versus the Bengals.
