Dorian Strong: Everything you need to know

Head coach Sean McDermott was unable to provide a timeline on Strong's (neck) return Monday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports. Strong hasn't played since suffering a neck injury Week 4 against the Saints and will seemingly remain sidelined for an extended period of time. The rookie sixth-round pick recorded 10 tackles (nine solo) across four games before getting injured.

The Bills placed Strong (neck) on injured reserve Saturday. The sixth-round rookie cornerback has appeared in all four games to this point in the season, logging 39 percent of the Bills' defensive snaps and 40 percent of the snaps on special teams. Ja'Marcus Ingram, Cam Lewis, Brandon Codrington and Jordan Hancock will be in line for more snaps with Strong on the shelf.

Strong has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a neck injury. Strong was unable to participate in the last two practices of the week due to a neck injury, and the rookie sixth-rounder will miss his first game of the season as a result. Ja'Marcus Ingram and Cam Lewis are in line to see more rotational work at corner behind Tre'Davious White and Christian Benford due to Strong's absence. Strong will aim to return to practice next week and be available for the Bills' Week 6 road clash against the Falcons on Monday, Oct. 13.
