The Buffalo Bills were back on the practice field Thursday with some new players missing practice today.
It was a tough practice for the Buffalo Bills as they saw their starting cornerback leave with an ankle injury. During practice, Levi Wallacce went down to the ground and came up limping. The Bills listed him as limited because he did start the practice as a full participant.
The injury report tomorrow will be telling with if Wallace is available on Sunday. If he is not available, expect the Bills to go with Kevin Johnson opposite Tre’Davious White.
Jon Scott of Spectrum News tweeted a video after Wallace suffered the ankle injury.

For the second straight practice the Bills were without Taron Johnson, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Jets, and Andre Roberts, who suffered a quad injury early last week. He has now missed straight five practices and would seem unlikely to play against the New York Giants.
As for Johnson, the Bills should not expect him on the field against the Giants. The team will turn to Siran Neal, who stepped in for Johnson against the Jets.
In addition to Johnson and Roberts, the Bills were without running back Frank Gore (Rest) and Cole Beasley (Illness). Beasley was the second player this week to miss practice due to an illness.
The good news for the Bills is that the team did get defensive tackle Jordan Phillips back on Thursday. He missed practice yesterday due to an illness but was a full participant today.
The Bills also saw tight end Tyler Kroft on the practice field in a limited capacity. Kroft is working back from a broken foot suffered during OTAs and has been a limited participant dating back to last week.
The Buffalo Bills will have one more practice on Friday before they have travel to face the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
