Buffalo Bills during their 6-31 win against the New Orleans Saints on Week 12 lost their star cornerback Tre’Davious White to a knee injury in the second quarter of the game. The cornerback was sidelined for the rest of the game and was replaced by backup Dane Jackson when the Bills were up by 10-0.
Losing White is a great setback for the Bills since he is one of the best defensive prospects for the franchise. His absence will leave the Bills vulnerable in the cornerback spot since the 26-year-old brings a unique playmaking acumen to the table.
