More time for key players on Buffalo Bills to rest

This week the Buffalo Bills have injury concerns for a number of their key players, most notably cornerback Tre’Davious White. The team’s star cornerback has missed the last two practices due to a back injury.

In addition to White, the team has been without kick returner Andre Roberts, who missed both practices this week, as well as starting right guard Brian Winters who was limited on Wednesday but missed Thursday.

If the Buffalo Bills essentially get two extra days before their game, this can only help for these players nursing injuries. One other potential benefit is that last year’s starting guard Jon Feliciano actually started practicing this week, according to WGR550’s Sal Capaccio, after being on injured reserve to start the year.

It remains to be seen just how close he is to returning but a few extra days could actually help him get on the field for this matchup with the Titans.
