Bringing Tre’Davious White back on a practice squad deal gives Buffalo an experienced option with a proven track record in this defense. His 16 starts last season, plus career totals of 19 interceptions and 78 passes defensed, provide measurable depth and leadership. His prior All-Pro and Pro Bowl credentials underline his high-level resume. As a familiar presence who spent the bulk of his career in Buffalo, White is positioned to help steady a young group of cornerbacks and serve as an immediate reserve should the Bills need to elevate a veteran defensive back during the season.
