It was a difficult question for just about everyone in the Bills locker room to answer.
The Bills defeated the Dolphins 48-20 in Week 4. It helped the Bills (3-1) take the lead in the AFC East over the Dolphins (3-1).
However, somber feelings were in the air when asked about Tre’Davious White. The team’s top defensive back went down with an apparent Achilles injury and tests could soon confirm his season is over.
White was carted off the field and he was clearly upset. His teammates were for him as well.
“Seeing Tre’Davious work through what he went through last year, getting back [on] Thanksgiving. Seeing that positive energy, seeing Tre’Davious White be himself over the last couple of months,” safety Micah Hyde said via video conference. “To see that happen today… It’s sad.”
Hyde was referencing White’s journey back from a previous ACL injury that kept him off the field for an entire year.
Of all, it was head coach Sean McDermott who might have showed the most reaction. The coach was visibly upset discussing how White’s season is likely over.
“Yeah, he’s been through a lot,” McDermott said. “Sometimes you wonder why things like that happen twice to someone.”
For McDermott’s full emotion, see the attached WIVB-TV clip below:
