The Buffalo Bills are facing a challenging situation as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions. With starting defensive backs Taylor Rapp and Rasul Douglas sidelined, the team is left vulnerable against one of the NFL's top offenses.
Rapp is dealing with a shoulder injury sustained in a recent game, while Douglas has been hampered by knee issues. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed their absence from practice, indicating a cautious approach as they assess their recovery.
In their absence, Ja'Marcus Ingram and Kaiir Elam may step in to fill the gaps in the secondary. Additionally, rookie Cole Bishop could take over safety duties, raising questions about veteran Micah Hyde's role after his recent signing.
