Douglas (knee) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice and is questionable for Buffalo's Week 16 outing against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Douglas will log another limited practice as he works back from a knee injury that sidelined him in last week's huge win over the Lions. The veteran cornerback is now listed as questionable for this upcoming Sunday's game versus the Patriots, and his practice this Friday should be a huge decider on whether he'll suit up against the conference opponent.

Douglas (knee) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice and is questionable for Buffalo's Week 16 outing against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Douglas will log another limited practice as he works back from a knee injury that sidelined him in last week's huge win over the Lions. The veteran cornerback is now listed as questionable for this upcoming Sunday's game versus the Patriots, and his practice this Friday should be a huge decider on whether he'll suit up against the conference opponent.
Douglas (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report. Douglas missed his first game of 2024 in Buffalo's Week 15 win over the Lions due to a knee injury, and Wednesday's estimated limited session indicates he's still dealing with the issue. The veteran corner from West Virginia has recorded 55 total tackles, including five passes defended, and one forced fumble over 13 appearances this season. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can return in Week 16, when the Bills face the Patriots.
Douglas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. One of the Bills' two starting outside cornerbacks, Douglas will miss his first game of the season, and it comes ahead of a Week 15 showdown with the Lions at Ford Field on Sunday. Ja'Marcus Ingram is likely to get the start in his place and will have his hands full with Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick. Christian Benford will cover the opposite side of the field, and Taron Johnson mans the slot for Buffalo, where he'll see a lot of Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Douglas (knee) will not participate in practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Buffalo is hosting a walkthrough practice session Wednesday, but Douglas' lack of availability nonetheless bodes poorly for his chances of being available for Sunday's road matchup against the Lions. He's nursing a knee injury sustained during the second half of the Bills' loss to the Rams in Week 14.
Douglas (knee) is doubtful to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams. Douglas suffered a knee injury in the second half Sunday and he's unlikely to return as a result. In his absence, Ja'Marcus Ingram stands to operate in a more significant role in Buffalo's secondary.
Douglas recorded seven tackles (five solo) in the Bills' 35-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. The cornerback also played on 93 percent of the defensive snaps. Douglas has 18 tackles (12 solo), a pass defensed and a forced fumble in 2024.
Douglas posted 61 tackles, 1.0 sacks, 14 passes defensed, five interceptions, a pick-six and three fumble recoveries over 16 regular-season games split between the Packers and Bills. The Bills acquired Douglas from Green Bay in a Halloween trade, and the veteran played a key role in helping the Bills turn around their season and win a fourth straight AFC East title. With Buffalo losing several key pieces this offseason, Douglas will remain a clear-cut starter and locker room leader entering his eighth NFL season. He's had four-plus picks in each of the last three seasons.
