With Tre White still not practicing, a look at Bills’ options on his status next week
‘Activate him, then place him on the Injured Reserve list at some point in the days after the final cutdown. This is less likely but would be an option presumably if the team decides it needs a bit more time after Aug. 30 to make a decision.

Each NFL team can put a maximum of eight players during the season on IR “designated to return” – meaning they would have a 21-day window to be placed on the active roster once they start practicing. If a player goes on IR and isn’t “designated to return,” then he is out for the season.’

‘Weaknesses: The secondary faces questions with starting CB Tre’Davious White’s season-opening status uncertain and with Wallace leaving in free agency.
