Bills List Tre'Davious White, Bass Doubtful, Prepare Replacements for Ravens

The Buffalo Bills will be without veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White for their Sunday night season opener against the Baltimore Ravens due to a groin injury, as he was ruled inactive after being listed as doubtful. Another key cornerback, rookie Maxwell Hairston, is also out, forcing the Bills to rely on less experienced players like Ja'Marcus Ingram, Dorian Strong, and Brandon Codrington to fill the depth chart. White, who rejoined the Bills in free agency after a year away, has been sidelined since August and needs more time to recover, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Additionally, kicker Tyler Bass has been placed on injured reserve and will miss at least the first four weeks, with veteran Matt Prater signed as a replacement. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel is also inactive due to hamstring issues and illness during the preseason, compounding Buffalo's injury challenges. Despite these setbacks, starting cornerback Christian Benford is expected to play against Baltimore after returning to full practice.
