BUFFALO, NY. (WKBW) — Bills Mafia, we're two days away from the start of the season for the Buffalo Bills. An AFC Divisional round rematch from last season is in store for Sunday night at Highmark Stadium. And Buffalo will likely be missing cornerback Tre'Davious White as he was listed as "doubtful" in the Bills' official Friday injury report.
White wasn't ruled out for Sunday’s game by head coach Sean McDermott, but it opens the door for others to step up in White's absence.
Fellow cornerbacks like Ja’Marcus Ingram or Dorian Strong could see an expanded role. If it's Dorian Strong opposite Christian Benford, that's a lot of responsibility for the rookie. But McDermott told us that opportunities like these can be a big chance for growth if handled right.
"There are always growing pains that take place with first-time experiences. I'll just speak for myself, when you're young and you're getting the valuable reps and experiences, if you're wired the right way, you're learning from the positives and negatives," McDermott said. "Those growing pains, if handled the right way, can set you up for future success."
Kicker Tyler Bass also didn't practice today after being placed on the injured reserve list. Veteran Matt Prater, who was brought on to the practice squad this week, is lined up to assume kicking responsibilities on Sunday.
