Darron Lee

If the coaching staff feels confident in the depth they have at cornerback, another option for that final roster spot could be linebacker Darron Lee. He was added around the same time as Daryl Worley and has been active for one game this year, Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Buffalo Bills are likely hoping to get back Matt Milano after this Sunday’s game with the Chargers since he was placed on injured reserve earlier this year and would be eligible to return after that game.

If he doesn’t appear like he will be able to come back right away, Lee could provide depth as he has 38 career starts since the New York Jets selected him in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. This past season, Lee was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Even if Milano is able to come back, adding Lee to the active roster could be a good move as he could be a key part of the special teams unit as he played 57% of the special team snaps last year for the Chiefs.
