The Buffalo Bills knew one starting cornerback was missing this week but they could be without both in Week 5.

On Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills placed Levi Wallace on the injured reserve which will force him to miss at least the next three games. He suffered an ankle injury against the Las Vegas Raiders and was replaced by Josh Norman, who just came off injured reserve.

However, on Thursday the concern shifted to the team’s other starting cornerback as Tre’Davious White sat out his second consecutive practice due to a back injury. The injury was a bit of a surprise considering that White played every snap against the Raiders and didn’t miss any time during the game.

In addition to White, starting linebacker Matt Milano and kick returner Andre Roberts sat out their second practice of the week. If Milano is not able to play, it appears that Tyrel Dodson is the player to replace him in the starting lineup.

As for Roberts, the return responsibilities likely would go to Isaiah McKenzie who is listed as the backup at both positions.

One player whose injury status will be interesting on Friday is guard Brian Winters. He has been starting at right guard but suffered a knee injury against the Raiders that forced him to miss time. He was limited on Wednesday but sat out Thursday’s practice. If he is not able to play, the team would likely turn to Quinton Spain, who lost his starting job when Cody Ford moved over but has the most experience at the position among the backups.

In terms of good news, the Buffalo Bills saw Josh Allen once again practice in full as well as wide receiver Cole Beasley. This was the second practice Allen was a full participant and should be all set to play the Tennessee Titans while Beasley was limited on Wednesday and appears heading in the right direction.
