Overview
- The signing was reported Monday by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on X as a practice-squad deal that will let White acclimate to the Bills before an expected promotion to the 53-man roster.
- The report says White declined several earlier opportunities to return to Buffalo before agreeing to this practice-squad arrangement.
- Buffalo enters its bye week 5-1 but has allowed 30 or more points in four of six games, a defensive lapse the team is addressing by adding an experienced cornerback.
- White was the Bills’ 2017 first-round pick, is a two-time Pro Bowler, spent 2017–2023 in Buffalo, played with the Rams and Ravens, and started 16 regular-season games and two playoff games last season.
- The practice-squad route is commonly used to teach a player a playbook and game plan before elevation, and the transaction still awaits formal team confirmation and an exact timeline for White’s promotion.
