Tre’Davious White can’t catch a break.
The Bills star cornerback suffered a non-contact injury that resulted in him being carted off the field during the Bills’ divisional matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.
The Bills tweeted White was being evaluated for an Achilles injury, and CBS reported he was set to an undergo an MRI.
White’s injury happened while he covered Tyreek Hill on a failed fourth down attempt by the Dolphins during Buffalo’s 48-20 blowout win at Highmark Stadium.
The former Pro Bowler came up limping on the play, and threw his helmet backwards while being attended to by trainers.
A cart eventually came out for White to end his day.
It’s a brutal development for White, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear during the 2021 season that limited him to just six games last season.
There are obviously concerns with a non-contact injury that White’s season could be cut short again, although the further testing will clarify.
White is the Bills’ top cornerback and losing him would be a tough flow for a Bills team that has championship aspirations, but is a bit light at cornerback.
The Bills may have to turn to 2022 first-rounder Kaair Elam, who has not performed up to expectations through his first season-plus of action.
Buffalo is at least preparing to welcome back Von Miller, who started the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Miller will help bolster a Bills pass rush that harassed Tua Tagovailoa all throughout Sunday’s heavily touted game against two AFC East heavyweights, who are both now 3-1.
The Bills’ ability to effectively rush the passer looms especially large if they deal with a shortage at the cornerback position.
Their home game Sunday started a three-game home stretch that features Jacksonville coming to town on Oct. 8 and the Giants visiting for Sunday Night Football on Oct. 15.
