The worst, yet expected, news has arrived relating to Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White: His season is over.
It was announced on Monday that an MRI confirmed a torn Achilles in White’s right leg.
White, 28, is expected to land on the Bills’ injured reserve list after suffering the injury in the third quarter of Buffalo’s 48-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 4.
White went down with a noncontact injury, and the team announced he was being evaluated for an ankle injury. Those who saw White’s reaction knew the issue was serious.
White had slammed his helmet on the ground and was visibly upset when he was carted off the field.
Earlier in the contest, fellow starting CB Christian Benford went down with a shoulder injury. When White left the game, Benford returned to the field.
It’s expected that Dane Jackson will see starting snaps alongside Benford for the foreseeable future in Buffalo’s starting lineup with White out.
In addition, former first-round pick Kaiir Elam is likely to now be active on game day. He was listed among the inactives for the first four games of the year.
Bills Wire will provide updates if further information is made available.
