Done for season with torn ACL White will miss the rest of the season, as the knee injury he suffered in Thursday's win over the Saints was a torn ACL, Chris Jenkins of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact This is a huge loss for the vaunted Bills defense, as White is among the league's stingiest shutdown cornerbacks. Dane Jackson likely will slide into the starting role opposite Levi Wallace, occupying the opening created by White's injury, while Taron Johnson continues to man the slot.

Bills' Tre'Davious White leaves Thanksgiving game vs. Saints with knee injury (Video) White injured his knee in the 2nd quarter.

Suffers knee inury White is doubtful to return to Thursday's game against the Saints after suffering a knee injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact White suffered a non-contact knee injury in the second quarter of the game. That he is deemed doubtful -- rather than out -- could be a slight positive, but it also remains possible that the injury is significant. If White misses further time, it would be a significant loss for the Bills defense as White is regarded as one of the top cornerbacks in the league.

Interception in win White recorded five tackles (three solo) along with an interception in Sunday's 45-17 blowout win over New York.

Impact White tallied his first interception of the season Sunday. The star cornerback is one of the best in the NFL in coverage, but opposing quarterbacks rarely look his way as he has only one game with more than six tackles. White's value to the Bills is much larger than his value to IDP fantasy managers.

Manages six stops vs. Jags White had six tackles (two solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact White continues to operate as an every-down player in Buffalo's secondary, but the standout cornerback's presence wasn't enough to prevent an upset loss to Jacksonville. Looking ahead to Sunday's matchup against the Jets, White will look to contain whomever lines up under center between Mike White or Zach Wilson.

Cleared for action against KC White (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact White was limited in all three of Buffalo's practices this week but isn't in danger of sitting out this high-profile matchup in prime time. The standout cornerback will have to be at the top of his game to contain top Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who repeatedly left the Eagles secondary in a cloud of dust en route to 11 catches for 186 yards and three touchdowns last week.

OCTOBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited ahead of KC matchup White was listed as limited Wednesday due to a shoulder issue.

Impact We'd be pretty surprised if the star cornerback isn't out there this week when the team takes on the Chiefs in one of the better games on the regular-season slate. The White-Tyreek Hill matchup is must-see TV for football mavens. Still, IDP managers will look to see if White can work toward a clean designation by the time the Bills finish their work Friday.

OCTOBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rings up nine tackles White posted nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 35-0 win over the Dolphins.

Impact The game script forced the Dolphins to throw a ton, so White was busy in coverage and led the team in tackles. He's typically not dependable in IDP formats, though, mostly because opponents look away from him so often, and he hasn't topped 60 stops since his rookie year in 2017.

Frees up money for team White agreed Wednesday to convert a significant portion of his 2021 salary into a signing bonus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Like a lot of teams, the Bills are up against it with a reduced salary cap this offseason, so honing in on the lucrative contract White signed at the beginning of last season really helps the team out in terms of signing a final free agent or two along with the incoming class of draft picks. The restructuring puts the Bills roughly $4 million under the cap, according to figures from Spotrac.

MARCH 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact White is being rested for the season finale because the Bills have locked up home-field advantage for the first round of the playoffs. Taron Johnson and Josh Norman should both see expanded roles in White's place.

Ready for Week 16 White, who exited the Week 15 win over the Broncos with a neck injury, was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report.

Impact This is obviously good news for the Bills, who seem to have dodged a couple of bullets when arguably their best players on each side of the ball -- White on defense and Stefon Diggs on offense -- went down with injuries late in the blowout win against Denver. White could be rested on some level in Week 17 if the Bills can't improve their playoff positioning in the regular season's final week, though it appears he's ready for a full evening's worth of action Monday vs. the rival Patriots.

DECEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that White (shoulder) will participate in practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The Bills won't release an official injury report until Thursday, so it's uncertain whether White will handle limited or full practice reps Wednesday. Of course, it's encouraging to see the star cornerback on the field in any capacity after he was forced out of last weekend's win over the Broncos due to a shoulder issue.

DECEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Exits Saturday's game White is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Broncos due to a stinger.

Impact The 25-year-old suffered the injury during the fourth quarter and seems unlikely to retake the field with the Bills winning in blowout fashion. White had two solo tackles, one sack and two passes defensed before leaving the contest.

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to face Cardinals White (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact White's ankle injury forced him out late during last weekend's win over the Seahawks, but he resumed practicing in full Friday. All signs point to the star cornerback being a full-go for Sunday's tilt in Arizona, in which he'll likely face the task of holding DeAndre Hopkins in check.

NOVEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited White is listed as a limited practice participant Thursday due to an ankle injury.

Impact White had to leave Sunday's win over Seattle late in the game, but he's starting to trend back up for the Week 10 contest in Arizona. Assuming he's able to go, he'll likely be tasked with keeping on eye on star receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

NOVEMBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Starts week with DNP White (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact White was injured late in the Bills' win over Seattle on Sunday. Coach Sean McDermott earlier put his star cornerback in the "day-to-day" category, so we'll see how White's practice regimen shapes up the rest of the week. He's one of the few guys in the league capable of sticking with Arizona's dangerous DeAndre Hopkins.

NOVEMBER 11, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Week 9 return deemed questionable White (ankle) was listed as questionable to return near the conclusion of Sunday's 44-34 win against the Seahawks.

Impact Buffalo had to withstand Russell Wilson's fourth-quarter efforts without the one-time All-Pro available for a portion of the period, though the Bills were able to hold on for the impressive win. White recovered a fumble and collected eight tackles prior to his exit, but now his practice status will be worth monitoring over the coming week as Buffalo prepares for another formidable NFC West opponent in the Cardinals.

NOVEMBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Set to go Week 7 White (back) is active for Sunday's game at the Jets.

Impact We're going to guess the star corner isn't 100 percent given his game-time status all after missing one game and plenty of practice time lately. Still, White is as good as they come, so even while playing through the back issue his presence is a boost to Buffalo's struggling defense.

OCTOBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice White (back) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The back injury kept the star cornerback out of the Week 5 contest against the Titans while he played through it Monday against the Chiefs. After practicing fully Wednesday, it appears the back is acting up again, leaving White as a true question mark for Sunday's game.

OCTOBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Managing injury White (back) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact After missing the Week 5 contest at Tennessee, White managed through the back injury last week before ultimately suiting up in Monday's game against the Chiefs, so it's too early to panic on his status for Week 7. Expect his practice availability throughout the week to shed more light on his chances to play Sunday. If the LSU product were to miss any more time, Taron Johnson would be in line for extra work at cornerback.

OCTOBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Monday White (back) is active for Monday's game versus the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact White practiced without limitations Friday and Saturday and avoided a setback, so he'll gear up for a crucial AFC showdown. There's a good chance he shadows Tyreek Hill in this contest, and he'll have his hands full, as Hill has generated a 22-264-4 line through the first five games.

OCTOBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable White (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact White has logged consecutive full workloads at practice to close out the week, so the Bills appear to be exercising caution with this questionable designation. Still, his final status is not likely to be confirmed until closer to game-time. Assuming White plays, the matchup between him and Kansas City's Tyreek Hill is one of the better ones you'll see this season.
