The Bills signed White off their practice squad Friday. With Josh Allen set to only take a handful of snaps in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots, White will be active as Mitchell Trubisky's backup for the remainder of the contest once Allen is pulled from the game. White has attempted just six regular-season passes since the start of 2023.
White reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. White operated as the Bills' emergency quarterback in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions, ultimately failing to enter the contest. The team has now used up all three of his elevations and White would have to officially be signed to the active roster in order to be elevated again.
White has been elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions. White is expected to serve as Buffalo's emergency quarterback for Sunday behind Josh Allen and Mitchell Trubisky. He isn't likely to play, though, so his promotion to the active roster might be a way to reward him for his work on the practice squad over the last few weeks.
White reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. White was elevated for the Bills' 35-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday, when he served as the emergency third quarterback behind Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky. White did not see the field as neither Allen nor Trubisky suffered injuries.
The Bills elevated White from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers. White has been on Buffalo's practice squad since late August and hasn't gotten into a game this season. The veteran quarterback isn't likely to play in Sunday's contest, as both Josh Allen and Mitchell Trubisky are healthy and ahead of him on the depth chart. Per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, White's elevation may be a move to reward him for his work on the practice squad throughout the campaign.
White signed with Buffalo's practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Bills will be White's third team affiliation in as many years, but he's staying inside of the AFC East. He could be elevated from the practice squad for Week 1 if Mitch Trubisky (knee) proves unavailable.
The Dolphins have decided to release White, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. White had been competing with Skylar Thompson for the No. 2 QB role throughout camp, and this move signifies that Thompson has emerged on top in that battle. There was a possibility that Miami would keep all three signal-callers on the 53-man roster, but White instead will need to look for work with a new organization. The 29-year-old completed just 20 of 43 pass attempts for 179 yards without a touchdown or interception during the preseason, but he's had enough in-game NFL experience with some success -- specifically in 2021 and 2022 with the Jets -- to be an appealing option for teams needing quarterback depth.
